Hi!
I taught Cursive for many years to primary students. They came to me thinking they already knew how to print. They had some crazy designs and were forming the letters every which way. I’d try to reteach it to them with less than great results.
I’d teach them Cursive and, by the end of the year, they wrote just beautifully.
My handwriting has always been quite nice, until I broke my wrist. But now with the Apple Pencil I love the way it has improved– almost as good as new. As most anything, it was just a matter of practice! I haven’t even had the Pencil that long.
Cursive is faster than printing. It’s also an art. I can understand, for a myriad of reasons, why you’d like to really learn it. I truly enjoy practicing. I find it to be rather calming.
Any practice with the Apple Pencil will improve your fine motor skills which, in turn, will improve your handwriting.
I’d recommend getting a book on the Palmer Method. It’s a standard and you’ll get beautiful results from Palmer. You can pick up an old one on eBay. You’ll need an alphabet for reference. See if you can get a hard copy. It’s important to watch how the letters are formed. Just follow the arrows.
I’d stick to one handwriting method.
Also, you can find worksheets. You can print out one, place it on the screen and trace over the letters with your Apple Pencil. I haven’t tried it yet but it sounds intriguing.
I haven’t run across any handwriting software. I just looked in the App Store. There are a few but I am not familiar with them.
Another idea is to head on over to your nearest teacher store. You’ll be able to pick up a workbook. They might have Cursive software there. Or they can order it for you.
I’ll look around for you. If you find one, please post it here. I’d love to try it myself.
