How to Write E in Cursive
The cursive E looks smooth and elegant. The uppercase E is large and loopy, while the lowercase e is small and round. It’s one of the simplest cursive letters to learn. Let’s go step by step and master both big E and small e!
Lowercase Cursive e
Start from the bottom line and move your pencil slightly up. Form a small loop and curve it around to make an oval shape. Close the oval neatly and finish with a short tail to the right so it can connect to the next letter.
The lowercase e is small and round. Think of it like a neat little circle with a small opening on the right side.
Uppercase Cursive E
Begin with a small loop at the top. Then curve the line down and to the left, almost like writing a backward “3.” Finish it with a soft curve at the bottom. You can add a small tail if you want to connect it to another letter.
The uppercase E looks fancy but simple to write. Keep the curves wide and even, so it’s easy to read. This letter often appears in names, so write it clearly.
How to Connect Cursive E to Other Letters
Once you know how to write cursive E, the next step is learning how to join it smoothly with other letters. Proper connections make your handwriting look neat and flowing.
How to Connect Lowercase Cursive e
The lowercase e ends with a tiny curve that moves to the right. This makes it easy to slide into the next letter without lifting your pencil.
How it connects:
- e + a / o / c: Let the curve roll smoothly into the round shape.
- e + l / h / k: Lift the curve slightly before going up to the tall line.
- e + n / r / s: Keep the motion soft and flow gently into the next letter.
