How to write capital J

  1. Start at the baseline and sweep up into a tall loop to the top line.
  2. Come down through the loop and continue below the baseline.
  3. Loop back up to the baseline and finish with a short tail to the right.

How to write lowercase j

  1. Start at the baseline and rise to the midline.
  2. Pull a downstroke below the baseline and loop back up to the line.
  3. Exit to the right, and dot the j after finishing the word.

Common mistakes

  • A common slip is dotting j over its loop instead of above its stem.
  • With the capital, learners stop the final stroke short instead of carrying it into the next letter; the tail of J is the join.

Joining j to other letters

The j ends in a loop below the baseline. The loop closes on the way up and its tail runs into the next letter from the baseline.
