Thanks for pointing that out regarding the shape of Mm etc. I think I just need to let it go. My new issue is that my DS cannot get the correct slant to his printing…even with the correct paper angle. Hmmm.

Yes, that makes sense. But then why form uppercase W with points and lowercase w with curves?

Hello! I’m using Logic of English with my first grader, and the handwriting portion is based on d'nealian. I noticed that the W and Y in manuscript are formed differently in upper and lowercase. In uppercase they are pointed, and in lowercase they are curved. I don’t understand why there would be an inconsistency like this Does anyone know why that might be? It seems like there should be a reason, but maybe there isn’t? I have been searching for an answer and have not found one, so came here to see if someone more experienced might know more about this.
