Cursive O o
Capital O: Start at the top line. Circle back to the left (counter-clockwise), down to the baseline, and up to close at the top. Make a small loop and finish with a short line to the right. Capital O does not join the next letter. Lowercase o: Start at the baseline and curve up to the midline. Circle back to the left (counter-clockwise) all the way around. Make a tiny loop at the top and slide right along the midline.

Stroke order
Tip: Lowercase o ends at the midline, not the baseline. Keep the little loop at the top small and neat.
Joining: Lowercase o ends with a short, level slide at the midline, so the next letter starts from the midline. To join into o, curve up and over to the top of the oval, then circle back.
