About this worksheet
Lowercase o begins with an undercurve to the midline, then a downcurve around to the baseline and back up to close at the midline. Instead of exiting from the baseline, finish with a small checkstroke to the right at the midline. Uppercase O starts at the top line, makes a full downcurve oval back to the top, forms a small loop inside the top, and ends with a curve to the right.
Lowercase o ends high at the midline, so the next letter starts from a bridge stroke; on, os, and or are common examples. Before e, dip the bridge a little to leave room for the loop. Uppercase O usually does not join the letter after it.

Downcurve letters (a, d, g, o, c, q)
Cursive o is usually taught alongside the other letters in its stroke family, so practicing them together reinforces the shared starting stroke.

Join o in real words
Words like owl, orange, otter practice the joins into and out of o, which is what cursive is for.

Questions
- Why does cursive o join differently from a?
- Lowercase o ends with a checkstroke at the midline instead of an undercurve at the baseline. The next letter connects from that higher point with a bridge.
- How do I fix an o that looks like a?
- If the stroke retraces down and leaves from the baseline, it becomes a. Keep the checkstroke at the midline after closing the oval.
- Are the cursive letter O worksheets free?
- Yes. The sample sheet on this page is a free PDF in US Letter or A4, no account needed. Creating and previewing your own version is free too; printing and downloading custom sheets come with Pro, which also removes the preview watermark.
