Frequently Asked Questions: Writing "Liam"

What is the best stave height for beginners learning to write "Liam" in cursive?

For Grades 1–2 students practicing the 4 letters of "Liam", we recommend starting with a 19mm to 24mm 4-line stave so the hand can feel the full sweep of capital L before scaling down to 13mm.

Does uppercase "L" connect directly to the second letter in "Liam"?

In standard school cursive, uppercase "L" finishes near the baseline so your pencil can glide smoothly into "iam" without creating an awkward gap.
