These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital C ends at the midline with a rightward stroke. Flow into the a from there.
The small cursive r leads into the t. Both are short letters, so keep them at similar height.
The e opens into the r's small bump. A common pair that should feel natural.
Cross the t after writing the complete name.
The ar and er combinations bookend the t. Practice both connections.
Keep the r's consistently small. They should not compete with the t for attention.
