How to write a cursive capital T
- Draw a gentle wave stroke across the top line — the same cap used for capital F.
- From under the middle of the cap, drop a curved downstroke to the baseline, ending in a small curl.
- That is the whole letter: unlike F, capital T takes no cross through the stem.
How to write a lowercase t in cursive
- From the baseline, draw an upstroke to about three-quarter height — taller than the midline, shorter than a loop letter like l.
- Retrace straight back down the same line to the baseline. There is no loop.
- Finish with a tail to the right and continue into the next letter.
- After you finish writing the whole word, come back and cross the t with one short horizontal stroke.
Connecting t to other letters
If a word has two t’s, as in letter or better, cross them both with a single stroke. Crossing as you go breaks your rhythm and is the number one habit that slows cursive down. The t joins low, so tt, th and tr are worth drilling.

Cursive T questions
Why is the cursive t shorter than l or b?
The retraced stem needs less height than a loop to stay legible, and the lower height leaves room for the crossbar without touching the line above.
When do you cross a cursive t?
After the whole word is written — the same moment you dot your i’s and j’s. One pass for letters, one pass for crosses and dots.
