Some of the fonts that I found made the y wrong, and others had a different t. I sometimes have a very specific idea in mind, and now that I started teaching, I found how important it is to have a font that shows exactly the right way to make the alphabet. One of my favourite pastime activities is creating / designing my own school resources. The correct foundation is VERY important, especially for correct handwriting.įor quite some time I have been trying to find a font which illustrates the correct letter shapes for the South African context. I had to explain to him that people may get confused and think he wrote a 7, and fortunately that explanation worked! (Since then he’s made his ones correctly.) Another girl in Grade 2 are super excited to start writing “fancy” cursive letters, and she was also very confused when the letters in the magazines doesn’t look like what I tried to teach her. One of the learners in my classroom recently made the number “1” in the shape of a “7”, saying that his mom writes like that.
