Cursive S s
Capital S: Start near the baseline on the left. Swing up to the top line, make a small loop, and curve down the right side. Curve around the baseline and finish back on the left. Capital S does not join the next letter. Lowercase s: Start at the baseline and swing up just above the midline. Curve down on the right side and around the baseline, back in to the left. Then swing out to the right along the baseline.

Stroke order
Tip: Let the point of the s rise just above the midline, then close the bottom against the up stroke before you swing out.
Joining: Lowercase s ends at the baseline with a swing up. To join into s, climb a little above the midline to the point at the top.
