Frequently Asked Questions About Cursive O

Should cursive 'o' be a perfect circle?

While the ideal cursive 'o' is round, it doesn't need to be a perfect geometric circle. In natural handwriting, it often becomes slightly oval, especially when written quickly. The key is keeping it smooth and closed. Avoid making it too narrow or too wide.

How is cursive 'o' different from 'a'?

Cursive 'o' is a complete closed circle, while cursive 'a' has a tail or finishing stroke at the top right. Think of 'o' as a simple loop and 'a' as a circle with a connecting tail. When writing quickly, ensure you complete the 'o' circle before moving to the next letter.

Which direction should I draw cursive 'o'?

Always draw cursive 'o' counterclockwise (starting from the top right, moving left and down). This direction creates natural flow and makes it easier to connect to the next letter. Clockwise circles disrupt the cursive rhythm and make connections awkward.
