Cursive Letter G: How to Write & Free Practice Worksheet
Make an oval like an ‘a’, then plunge straight down below the baseline to the descender line, loop back counterclockwise, and cross over at the baseline.
Step-by-Step Stroke Order
- 1Make an oval at the midline
- 2Drop down to the descender line below
- 3Loop forward through the baseline to connect
Connecting Ligature Rule
Descender Cross Join
Crosses through the baseline from left to right, rising cleanly into the next letter.
Common Student Pitfall
Failing to close the oval before dropping, or looping backward in the descender.
Ensure the oval is completely closed before the descender drops.

The descender loop of cursive "g" crosses back through the baseline on an upward slant, smoothly transitioning into the undercurve of "u".
The descender loop of "g" rises through the baseline and continues straight up to the midline to establish cursive "r".
The descender loop of "g" returns through the baseline and catapults smoothly into the tall loop of "l".
