[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1265316, member: 22323"] De'Nealian handwriting is the style with the curls. It was supposed to make cursive easier. I never liked it. I taught the old Steck Vaughn manuscript, which made beautiful block letters. First and second grade teachers in my school decided to use the De'Nealian. It did not make cursive any easier and it was not pretty. That is when handwriting got very sloppy looking. No more beautiful manuscript letters. Young children are pushed too much in the early grades. Taught writing at three and four years old and their little hands are not ready. Most of the time they are not taught how to hold the pencil correctly and just draw letters instead of learning them the correct way. You cannot teach a child until he is ready to learn. They are being pushed too fast. Also when they are not taught correctly how to hold a pencil, it is hard to get them to hold it correctly. [/QUOTE]
