How to write capital V

Start at the baseline with a small entry loop and rise to the top line.
Pull a downstroke to the baseline.
Rise to the top in a curve and finish with a small hook; V does not join the next letter.

How to write lowercase v

Start at the baseline and rise to the midline.
Pull down into a rounded trough and rise again to the midline.
Exit with a short level stroke to the right at the midline.

Common mistakes

A common slip is dropping the exit of v to the baseline, so the next letter starts too low and the pair reads as u.
With the capital, learners try to join it to the next letter; V ends with a stroke that stops, so lift the pen and start the next letter fresh.

Joining v to other letters

The v ends at the midline, not the baseline, so the next letter starts from a short level bridge instead of rising from the line. That is why letters look slightly different after v.
