Capital E in cursive
Capital E is built from two stacked curves, like a backward 3, with a small loop where they meet in the middle.
Lowercase e in cursive
Lowercase e is a small loop that rises from the baseline, turns back to the left, and finishes with an exit stroke to the right.
Joining e to other letters
Lowercase e finishes with an exit stroke at the baseline that runs into the next letter. Trace tree to see the connection, then try the word on the blank copy line.
Lowercase e is one of the first cursive letters many learners try because it is one small loop. In tree the e is written twice in a row; check that each loop stays open.
