Handwriting
Use these TrueType
Fonts and PostScript (Mac OS X only) to create worksheets and teaching visuals for your K5 through second-grade
students. The PreCursive New Dashed font provides letters for the child
to trace, and the PreCursive New Arrow font gives directions for forming
the letters.
Why PreCursive?
- Precursive addresses
some of the fundamental problems associated with ball-and-stick manuscript
writing:
- the motor skills
and visual skills needed to draw the letters
- the difficulty
children have in moving from manuscript to cursive in the middle
grades.
- The program is
based on research that indicates ovals and slanted lines are easier
for children to form than round circles and straight lines.
- Letter size is
reduced, and uppercase and lowercase letters are designed to be as similar
as possible.
- Most letters are
formed using a single continuous stroke making the transition to cursive
writing very easy. The single stroke formation also helps minimize reversal
problems.
