How to begin
Look at how one letter ends and the next begins before joining them. Practice a short pair, such as la or mi, and then a whole word. A join should leave both letters recognizable without adding loops absent from the model.
Review your work
Letter forms and joins vary between handwriting methods. Keep one model and lift the pencil when that model requires it. Do not confuse a print font with a model teaching joined handwriting movements.
Look, trace and write
Look at a letter, trace it, then copy it into an empty space. Compare its height, orientation and spacing, choosing one detail to adjust on the next attempt. A carefully written, readable word is more useful than filling lines without referring to the model.
