Lesson 2
Writing The English Letters
Typing and handwriting
Like all other languages writing systems, there are two ways to put the English Letters on the paper. One, that is most often used, is to type and print. Another one, which is rarely used today, is to write them using pen and paper. This way is called handwriting.
Manuscript and cursive
Handwriting of the English Letters has two methods. One is known as the manuscript handwriting method. In this method, one writes letters which look like the printed letters. The second method is the cursive handwriting. Letters written in this way are often joint together.
Capital and small letters
In both methods, the capital letters are different from the small letters. As a result, there are four types of the hand written letters we may like to learn. Two types of them are the manuscript capital and small letters. The other two are the cursive capital and small letters.
Uppercase and Lowercase letters
One more thing we should know, is that the capital letters are sometimes called UPPERCASE letters and the small letters are referred to, as LOWERCASE letters.
