Cursive handwriting involves joining letters together without lifting your pencil.
There are four cursive letter joins.
Which join is used depends on which letter is joining to which letter.
The first letter has a lead in and the last letter has a lead out.

Some children might get confused with which join to use and try joining letters with the incorrect join.

Showing the children a visual of the four joins can help them to decide which join should be used.
