Blumenfield, "How Should We Teach Our Children to Write? Cursive First, Print Later!" The British Dyslexia association recommend that children learn the continuous cursive style. The cursive style has some significant advantages for Dyslexic students. The key advantages to this system are: * By making each letter in one movement, children’s hands develop a ‘physical memory’ of it, making it easier to produce the correct shape; * Because letters and words flow from left to right, children are less likely to reverse letters which are typically difficult (like b/d or p/q); * There is a clearer distinction between capital letters and lower case; * The continuous flow of writing ultimately improves speed and spelling.

Is your child starting school and learning to write? Handwriting Tracing Practice helps children aged 6–8 master cursive and printed letters step by step — with the exact fonts used in schools. Children learn independently, at their own pace, using voice controls designed for little hands that can't type yet. No ads. No data collected. Safe for children. The app has three sections: Letters Browse cursive and printed letters and find any letter by voice. See all four forms at once — uppercase cursive, lowercase cursive, uppercase print, lowercase print. Play the writing animation to learn the correct stroke order. Then trace it yourself — move the virtual pen along the letter's lines to practise proper technique. Each letter plays its sound too, so children connect the shape with the phonics. Pairs The classic card-matching game — now with letters! Find pairs of identical letter cards against the clock. Choose whether to match lowercase with uppercase, or same-case pairs. Pick cursive or printed cards and set the difficulty by the number of cards. Learning letters has never felt more like play.
