Cursive E
e is a single loop, and the whole letter is decided by whether that loop closes before the downstroke. A cursive e is a short letter, and it hands over to the next letter low.
This is the same renderer the generator uses. Open it with e already filled in to change size, rows and guides, then print.
How to write a cursive e
- Start on the baseline, sweep up and to the right, then loop back to the left at the midline.
- Come down to the baseline and curve out to the right.
- Exit low, leaving the loop closed.
A e sits in the short zone. Capital E begins with a small loop at the top left, then three strokes: down, out, down.
Joining e to the next letter
e ends low, so it hands over cleanly to the next letter. ea, ee, er.
Where it usually goes wrong
The loop is left open at the top, which makes the letter read as an undotted i. Close the loop before the downstroke.
Words to practise after the letter
Once the single letter holds its shape, put it into short words where it appears once: be, tree, green. Type any of them into the generator above and it will lay out eight ruled rows of tracing for you.
