Do you struggle to write cursive letters, especially the letter “I”?

Don’t worry, you’re not alone! In this article, we’ll share some tips and tricks to help you write a perfect “I” in cursive.

First, let’s start with the basics. The “I” is one of the most challenging letters to write in cursive because it requires a lot of precision and control. However, with practice, you can master it.

To begin writing an “I,” start by drawing a long horizontal line that’s about 2/3rds of the height of the letter “M.” Then, add two small vertical lines that are about 1/4th of the height of the horizontal line to the left and right of the horizontal line. Finally, connect the top and bottom of the vertical lines with a short horizontal line that’s about 1/3rd of the length of the horizontal line.

Now that you have the basic shape of an “I,” let’s add some curves. Start by rounding out the top and bottom of the horizontal line slightly, making sure that the curve is consistent on both sides. Then, round out the top and bottom of the vertical lines, again ensuring consistency on both sides.

Next, add a small loop to the left side of the “I.” To do this, draw a short horizontal line that’s about 1/4th of the length of the vertical line, and then connect it to the end of the vertical line with a curve that leads back to the top of the horizontal line. Finally, add another small loop on the right side of the “I” by drawing a similar horizontal line and connecting it to the end of the vertical line with a curve that leads back to the top of the horizontal line.

With these simple steps, you should now have a perfect “I” in cursive. Keep practicing, and you’ll soon become proficient at writing this challenging letter. And don’t forget to have fun while you practice! Writing with style and grace can make even the most mundane tasks feel like play.
