How to write the name, step by step
- Write capital S, then lift your pencil: in school cursive, S does not join the next letter.
- Join the rest of the letters without lifting your pencil: e, b, a, s, t, i, a and n.
- Watch the high join (ba): after b, o, v or w, the next letter starts at the midline, not the baseline.
- When the name is finished, go back to cross the t and dot the i.

Tips for each letter
- S
- Writing it like a print S. Cursive S starts with an undercurve from the baseline.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- b
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. b ends high, at the midline, so the next letter starts from there.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- s
- Writing it like a print s. Cursive s is a point at the top and a small closed belly at the bottom.
- t
- Making t as tall as l, or adding a loop. Cursive t is shorter than the tall letters and has no loop.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
