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

Tips for each letter
- M
- Making the humps all the same height. In school cursive the humps of M are about even; keep them tall.
- o
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. Cursive o ends high, so the next letter starts from the midline.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
- d
- Making a loop on the tall stick. Cursive d goes up and back down on the same line, with no loop.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- y
- Leaving the loop open below the line. Bring the tail back up so it crosses at the baseline.
