br in cursive
Joining b to r is one of the pairs that comes up all the time in English, and it is worth practising as a unit. The b finishes up at the midline, and the r starts at the baseline, so the connecting stroke has to bridge that gap.
Let the connector drop from the midline down to the baseline where the next letter begins. Keep the pen on the paper through the join, and finish any dots or crossbars after the whole word is written.
