Visual form checklist for cursive R

Use these cues to compare the previews. They are not a verified stroke sequence, and published cursive systems may use different forms. See the methodology.

Use the large uppercase R preview as a visual comparison. One common reference cue is a tall stem, rounded upper section, and outward finishing leg.
Compare lowercase r separately. It may appear as a short entry with a compact shoulder before the exit, depending on the selected font or teaching system.
Try Ruby or read and check whether the lowercase shoulder remains visible between its entry and exit in the selected style.

Readability checks

Avoid rounding the shoulder until lowercase r resembles v.
Treating one decorative preview as the only correct R form; cursive systems and fonts can differ.
Adding decoration before checking the main cue (the lowercase shoulder remains visible between its entry and exit). This can reduce readability in Ruby.
