Benjamin is a challenging name with eight letters, including the tricky nj connection and the below-the-line j. The capital B is bold and loopy. This name rewards slow, deliberate practice because the middle section has several direction changes.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The n ends at the midline. Drop down into the j's descending stroke, then come back up to dot it later.
The capital B has two bumps. From its final stroke, connect into the e at the baseline.
The j's tail curves below the baseline and back up. Connect to the a from that upswing.
The nj connection is the hardest part. Practice it in isolation.
Dot the j and the i after writing the full name.
