Frequently Asked Questions About Cursive U

Is cursive 'u' just an upside-down 'n'?

Yes, exactly! Cursive 'u' and 'n' are mirror images. If you can write a good 'n', you can write a good 'u'. The 'n' is an arch (upside-down U), and 'u' is a valley (right-side-up U). This relationship helps in learning both letters.

Why does my cursive 'u' look like 'v'?

This happens when the bottom of the 'u' is too pointed or angular. Cursive 'u' should have a smooth, rounded bottomβ€”like a smile, not a V-shape. Practice making wider, rounder curves at the bottom to distinguish it from the sharper cursive 'v'.

How is cursive 'u' different from 'w'?

Cursive 'u' has one smooth valley (one downstroke and one upstroke), while 'w' has two valleys creating a double-wave pattern. Think of 'w' as two connected 'u' letters side by side. The 'u' is narrower and simpler than 'w'.
