momsuz123 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So, my oldest just started ps. What D'Nealian book do you recommend? That is what they use, and I need to get her caught up with it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 i use the d'nealian workbooks by Scott Forseman. They sell them at CBD and Rainbow Resource Center. When we completed those, I generated d'nealian worksheets online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 In reference to what Heigh Ho is saying, I guess it depends on the school. My son was in public school for K last year and they required d'nealian and I was aware that by the end of grade 1/early grade 2 there were significant marks off if you missed tails, etc. They said they were using d'nealian to transition kids better to cursive. The irony of it is at the end of his K year his teacher said they are no longer teaching cursive therefore they would no longer require d'nealian. By this point he had already "re-learned" to write d'nealian style so I wasn't going to go back to ball and stick. Anyway. All that to say do what you feel is best, because who knows what the school will do? LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsuz123 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Okay, thanks all. I actually just emailed her new teacher and asked her opinion. Maybe they won't care if she is doing Zaner Bloser. Her handwriting isn't the best, so I am not opposed to switching (if it helps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliegmom Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 i use the d'nealian workbooks by Scott Forseman. They sell them at CBD and Rainbow Resource Center. When we completed those, I generated d'nealian worksheets online. This is exactly what I did. My dd was in ps for K and 1st. She was doing well with D'Nealian so I wanted to keep what was working. This year dd transitioned beautifully to cursive using the D'Nealian worbook. I print out lined paper or worksheets online when I see areas where extra practice is needed. Donna Young's website has some great resources! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsuz123 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Okay, I got the word back from the teacher - she wants my dd to learn D'Nealian. Okay, we've got the summer at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
