Cursive handwriting program?

Question

I was just wondering if there was a program or method of converting regular print to cursive handwriting? Or at the very least, a cursive handwriting program that could help my little bro? Any help would be great!

Answer 1

D'Nealian is the way to go. It's much easier for kids to go from print to cursive. Maybe the teacher has a workbook your bro can use, or you should be able to get one from a teachers' store.

Here's a sample -

There are worksheets here - on PDF -

On this site, there are the lined sheets you can print out, and samples of worksheets for the cursive - right side. You only have to be a member to print the whole book, you don't have to join to use pages.

Good luck - with these (and the amazing internet) you won't have to spend any money, except on ink and paper!

Answer 2

Cursive handwriting actually HELPS dyslexics with their writing.  There is less chance of their transposing letters or reversing b/d or p/q, etc. Most dyslexic programs in the public schools teach cursive, no matter the age of the dyslexic.  D'Nealian is the best as a bridge between manuscript and cursive. Any teacher supply store or office supply center should have handwriting books available for purchase or you can check the following websites:
