How to write capital L

  1. Start at the baseline and sweep up into a tall loop to the top line.
  2. Come down the loop to the baseline.
  3. Swing into a rounded foot along the baseline and end with a tail that joins the next letter.

How to write lowercase l

  1. Start at the baseline and sweep up into a tall loop to the top line.
  2. Come back down to the baseline.
  3. 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.
