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: o, p, h, i and a.
- Watch the high join (op): 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.
- When the name is finished, go back to dot the i.

Tips for each letter
- S
- Writing it like a print S. Cursive S starts with an undercurve from the baseline.
- o
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. Cursive o ends high, so the next letter starts from 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.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
