Letter guide
Cursive O
Cursive O is built from a rounded oval. It is useful for names, short words, and practice with smooth closed shapes before moving into G, Q, or D.
Uppercase and lowercase examples
Uppercase O
Capital O should stay rounded and open. Keep the entry and exit simple when readability matters.
Lowercase o
Lowercase o often exits from the upper-right side. Keep that exit clear so the next letter does not crowd the oval.
Practice focus
Practice oa, oe, oo, and on to keep the oval closed without making it too tight.
Practice words
O writing notes
How do you keep cursive O from looking like A?
Keep the oval open and rounded, and avoid adding an extra inner stroke that makes the letter look like a or d.
Does lowercase o connect in cursive?
Usually yes. Lowercase o often exits from the upper-right side, so the next letter should start cleanly from that point.
