How to write the name, step by step
- Write capital J and carry its ending stroke straight into the o.
- Join the rest of the letters without lifting your pencil: o, s, e, p and h.
- Watch the high join (os): after b, o, v or w, the next letter starts at the midline, not the baseline.
- Let the p drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.

Tips for each letter
- J
- Making the top loop too small. Cursive J has a big top loop and a smaller bottom loop.
- o
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. Cursive o ends high, so the next letter starts from the midline.
- s
- Writing it like a print s. Cursive s is a point at the top and a small closed belly at the bottom.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- p
- Making a loop on the tail. Cursive p goes down and back up the same line, with no loop below.
- h
- Making the hump too narrow, so h looks like an l and an i. Give the hump some width.
