How to write capital R

  1. Start at the top line and pull a tall downstroke to the baseline.
  2. Lift, return to the top and draw the bowl round to the midline, closing it against the stem.
  3. Throw a diagonal leg down to the baseline and end with a tail that joins the next letter.

How to write lowercase r

  1. Start at the baseline and rise to the midline.
  2. Make a tiny shoulder to the right and pull down to the baseline.
  3. Exit with a short upstroke to the right.

Common mistakes

  • A common slip is skipping the shoulder of r, which turns it into a stray upstroke.
  • With the capital, learners stop the final stroke short instead of carrying it into the next letter; the tail of R is the join.

Joining r to other letters

The r exits from the baseline with a short upstroke that becomes the entry stroke of the next letter.
