What Quill says (transcript)
  1. Welcome to The Cursive Club! Today's letter is j.
  2. Cursive is movement on paper. Body, arm, wrist, hand, pencil.
  3. Stand up, and cast a fishing line with me!
  4. Flick up, dive down under the water, and loop back up!
  5. Like i, with a tail that dives under the baseline. That's the letter j.
  6. Now watch the letter j.
  7. Start on the baseline. Undercurve up to the midline.
  8. Slant down, all the way below the baseline.
  9. Loop back up to the baseline.
  10. Add the dot last!
  11. Again, a little faster. Up, down, dive, loop, dot.
  12. Now, nice and quick.
  13. Your turn! Trace the gray letters in your book.
  14. Go slow, and start at the dot.
  15. When you write, keep your pencil on the paper.
  16. Lift it only at the end, to add the dot.
  17. Great job, cursive star! Pause and practice on your page!
