How to write capital L
- Start at the baseline and sweep up into a tall loop to the top line.
- Come down the loop to the baseline.
- Swing into a rounded foot along the baseline and end with a tail that joins the next letter.
How to write lowercase l
- Start at the baseline and sweep up into a tall loop to the top line.
- Come back down to the baseline.
- Exit with a short upstroke to the right.
Common mistakes
- A common slip is making the loop of l too narrow, so it reads as a tall i.
- With the capital, learners stop the final stroke short instead of carrying it into the next letter; the tail of L is the join.
Joining l to other letters
The l exits from the baseline with a short upstroke that becomes the entry stroke of the next letter.
