I resorted to using my usual online translation tool to decipher the sentences for which my exceedingly-rusty memory of my second-rate High School French was insufficient! ?

Merci beaucoup.

I am surprised that, even though I didn't attended school in France, model A is quite similar to what I've been taught. Maybe my teacher in primary school was using this standardized cursive writing. If I applied myself more I would still write mostly like this. This gives me an incentive to practice my penmanship.

I've gone off on one recently to improve my increasingly illegible scrawl and I'm trying to learn some of the French style of cursive in the hope that a bit of it will take root permanently. I found some books via Amazon's French website (luckily I did modern languages for a degree and one of the two I focused on was French). Also bought some Seyes ruled paper, which is exactly what I need to get my ascenders visible again! The books haven't turned up yet so I can't review them, but the ones I got were:

It always helps to have something to aspire to.This would cost our government nothing, but would be immensely prestigious.The Americans, Australians, and lots of others would I'm sure join in the fun even if they thought their scripts were superior.

Someone, here or on another forum commented that accents have are becoming 'homogenized by exposure to American TV shows. That begs the question do people want 'accented' handwriting at a time when their speech is losing it?

My child has just transferred to a new school for 1st grade, and is now having to adjust to the Montessori method as well as having to catch up with cursive, which was not taught at her (non-Montessori) preschool.

I do think your idea of asking your brain to do two separate activities at the same time will probably not achieve good results. How did you come up with this particular idea for developing creativity?

Vivian, thanks so much for letting me know it is helpful to you. I sort of gave up on it after it appeared that nearly every school had now dropped cursive writing. I will make a point to continue the series.

Meanwhile, I want to give you a precise answer to your question. The way to get a slant is to TURN THE PAPER (or notebook). Instead of having the paper directly upright in front of you, rotate it about 45 COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, so that the upper right corner is in the 12:00 position. Then write normally on the page, and the writing will have the proper slant. No one can write with a proper forward slant if the page is not turned on the desk (I still write that way to this day, as it was how I was taught, too). A helpful hint is to cut a thin strip of paper (I used to use a 1/8th-wide strip cut from red construction paper, but any paper will do) and tape it to the desk or table where your daughter is working. The bottom edge of her paper should rest on that line. As a third-grade teacher, I taped these red lines on each desk before the first day of school. (I also did it when I taught Kindergarten for three years.) How did I get the idea? My own teachers did it when I was a child.

If you want to try the red line method (I suggest possibly the on her home desk, as well as on the kitchen table, if she might work in the same room as you), here is how to correctly position the paper line. Sit down at the desk yourself, and place a normal sheet of notebook or typing paper in front of you. Turn it so that the upper right corner points directly at 12:00 (with lower left corner at 6:00), but that those corner points are positioned directly in the middle of your body, and the lower point right at the edge of the table close to you. The line you tape on should be positioned just next to the lower edge of the paper, and it will be on a 45 angle. This will make it very easy when your daughter sits down at the table to know where to put her paper before she starts to write. The bottom of notebooks can be positioned right along the same line.

Lynn,

I have been referring to your posts for several years and, YES, there are those of us out here who still zealously promote the teaching of cursive! I work at a private school that believes in the academic and artistic benefits of the act of writing in cursive. If you have it in you to continue the series, there are many of us who are waiting with anticipation! I personally believe that in 10 to 15 years (if not sooner) schools and educators are going to return to cursive having watched the performance of their students deteriorate. They are going to need experts like yourself to reacquaint them with the art. Thank you!

Thanks for letting me know this, and that my posts are making a difference to someone out there. I will therefore see about continuing the series (not sure exactly how soon, but yes, I will do it). Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.

For quite some time I have been trying to find a font which illustrates the correct letter shapes for the South African context. One of my favourite pastime activities is creating / designing my own school resources. I sometimes have a very specific idea in mind, and now that I started teaching, I found how important it is to have a font that shows exactly the right way to make the alphabet.

I really hope that this will also help you! It might be a good idea to print the examples out, put them in a plastic file, and let the learner use a dry erase marker to practice making the letters on the plastic over the examples.

Other benefits from teaching cursive include the ability to read cursive. The Declaration of Independence and many other important archival documents are written in cursive. A cursive signature is more difficult to forge than a printed one.

Anna Gillingham advocated teaching cursive from the beginning, and many schools designed for students with dyslexia do the same (e.g., The Kildonan School, Camperdown Academy, and Sandhills School). In France, and in many other European countries, cursive is taught from the beginning.

It has been argued (by some who should know better) that learning to write using cursive makes it more difficult for beginning readers. This is simply not the case. Reading and writing, although both tasks involve written language processes, engage different circuits within the brain. First graders can easily master formation of lower-case cursive letters by Christmas. When working with older students from fourth or fifth grade on up, I have never needed to spend more than two weeks establishing formation of these letters. Upper case letters take longer, but students can certainly continue to print upper case letters in the meantime.

There are various pencil grips and pencils on the market designed to help students hold their pencils appropriately. Avoid cheap ballpoints that write only when the pencil is held vertical to the paper. Sometimes gel pens or felt-tipped pens work best. Experiment to find what is most helpful to the individual.

Practicing a letter formation a few times is more effective than writing endless lines of a single letter. Once the alphabet has been mastered, it should be practiced daily at the beginning of every session. The twenty-six letters should be written in two lines, a to m and n to z.

There is a pause. Silence during which time I assume he is signing his name on the assorted colored sheets of papers. But after a while, I glance over and notice he has written only the first three letters of his first name. He is looking off into space, clearly stuck.

My kids went to International Schools for their early elementary years. They schools were using both the USA and French National curriculums. All the students could write in cursive perfectly by 3rd grade. Many of these kids leave the International system around the 5th grade. When the boys then go to traditional American schools and write in cursive it is the other students that put a stop to it. The boys that write in cursive are called homophobic slurs for their writing skills. Apparently only girls are allowed!

I always felt terrible for the lefties. They never had proper desks, and they had to hold their arms up in such awkward positions. Not to mention, when we got to writing in pen, they always smeared their writing all over the page because they had to write a top freshly written ink.
