Joining

When you are sure of the correct way to form your letters and have practised the patterns to relax your hand, you will want to begin joining your letters. There are two types of joins……. Some letters join diagonally: city Other letters join horizontally: food Some points to remember:

2. The letters which follow b g j p q s y z need not to be joined: b all g et p ost q uiz
   3. The letter s & f may be written in different ways

4. The letter t joins to other letters in two ways: diagonal: th horizontal: tw
