This is a seriously awesome script.

Look at it! And they say American cursive is curly. This is like... curly CURLY curly. Look at those Ns! I have no idea how anybody ever learned to read this stuff, but it's really pretty.

So I've caved and started Ana on basic cursive, one letter a day (excepting Monday). When she gets all the lowercase letters down I'll start copying out her sight word worksheets every day for her to do in cursive as well. She doesn't like the work, but she *is* pleased at how neat her handwriting already is and that it's easy enough. And she more or less understands my point that learning it now is a lot easier than unlearning print when she's 8 or 9. Even if they don't enforce it, it's just a lot of stress. (To be honest, I just got tired of seeing her hold her pencil wrong, and I *know* it's because of the printing!)

I still want to see other types of cursive than the one I'm able to print out worksheets of, but I've yet to figure out the search terms.
