Cursive P p
Capital P: Start at the top line and pull down to the baseline. Go back up the same line to the top. Curve out to the right and back in to the line at the midline. Capital P does not join the next letter. Lowercase p: Start at the baseline and swing up to the midline. Pull straight down to the descender line. Go back up the same line, curve over to the right and around to close at the baseline, then swing up.

Stroke order
Tip: Go back up the same line before you curve out, so the p has only one stem.
Joining: Lowercase p ends at the baseline with a swing up after its bowl closes. To join into p, swing up to the midline and pull straight down.
