Capital K in cursive
Capital K has a tall slanted stem. A curved arm sweeps in from the upper right to meet the stem, and a leg kicks out to the lower right.
Lowercase k in cursive
Lowercase k has a tall loop above the midline, then a small closed bump on the right and a short leg that kicks out to the baseline.
Joining k to other letters
Lowercase k finishes with an exit stroke at the baseline that runs into the next letter. Trace book to see the connection, then try the word on the blank copy line.
Lowercase k can look like h with an extra bump. In book, the k comes after a double o; notice that the o before it ends high at the midline.
