O-hook Joined.—The joining of the O-hook to other characters is a point in the technique of writing that should receive close attention. Observe carefully the combinations in the following drill, after which practice each until it can be written with both facility and accuracy. It should be remembered that the object of these drills is to secure accuracy and speed in movement, and the drills should be practiced until the correct movement is a matter of habit. The drill will give facility in joining the O-hook initially and finally to all consonants.
