How to teach this
Capital G is one long stroke. Start on the bottom line at the left and swing up through the middle of the letter to a small loop at the top line. Come down out of the loop and sweep up to the right to the top line, slide straight down to the bottom line, curve left and up to just below the middle line on the left, then finish with a long stroke out to the right across the letter. Go slowly the first few times and say the parts: up, loop, over, down, around, across. Lowercase g starts at the middle line like an a: curve back and around, close the oval at the middle line, then slide straight down below the bottom line, loop to the left, come back up to close the loop at the bottom line and go out to the right. Written alone, as on the sheet, lowercase g has no lead-in stroke; in a word, the join from the letter before runs up into where it starts.
Watch for: Lowercase g's loop turned to the right. That is a q. The g loop swings back to the left. Capital G started at the top like print. The cursive G starts on the bottom line and climbs to its loop.
Common questions about cursive G
- Why does cursive capital G look so different?
- It is not built from the print G at all. This one starts on the bottom line, loops at the top and ends with a long stroke across. School charts draw capital G in more than one way, so if your child's class chart shows a different G, follow the class chart.
- How do I stop my child's cursive g looking like a q?
- Watch the loop under the line. On g it swings back to the left before it closes; on q it swings to the right. Saying g goes back while tracing helps it stick.
