What Quill says (transcript)
  1. Welcome to The Cursive Club! Today's letter is u.
  2. Cursive is movement on paper. Body, arm, wrist, hand, pencil.
  3. Stand up, and bounce a basketball with me!
  4. Up, down, up, down, and out!
  5. Two even bounces. That rhythm is the letter u.
  6. Now watch the letter u.
  7. Start on the baseline. Undercurve up to the midline.
  8. Slant down to the baseline.
  9. Undercurve up again.
  10. Slant down, and curve out.
  11. Again, a little faster. Up, down, up, down, out.
  12. Now, nice and quick.
  13. Your turn! Trace the gray letters in your book.
  14. Go slow, and start at the dot.
  15. Keep your pencil on the paper the whole time.
  16. Both humps touch the midline. No lift!
  17. Great job, cursive star! Pause and practice on your page!
