D’Nealian
Handwriting2022 offers
a uniquely integrated print and digital experience! D'Nealian style handwriting uses a
continuous stroke method, and the letters have a more elegant look than a
traditional ball-and-stick method. With more fluid lines and fewer pencil
lifts, the chance for letter reversals is greatly reduced. In fact, 80% of the
letters are the same in both print and cursive! The easier transition from
print to cursive happens in Grade 2. While the colorful Student Workbooks
are open and go, with plenty of age-level practice, review, and evaluation… the
digital platform allows teachers to customize resource content, offering
students the ability to practice anytime/anywhere. Inside the printed student
book is a card you will use to access the online component. This resource is a 1-year
digital access to Savvas Realize, which features the online Teacher Book and
all digital resources (the graphics you see of the teacher book are from the
online access, not a physical book). Follow the instructions to Savvas Realize
where you will find tabs under "browse". These tabs include table of
contents, resources, standards, leveled readers, an eText, and tools. I found
the most useful content under the resources section. There are stroke modeling
animations a child can watch for help with proper slant, size, and spacing of
letters. Teachers can print on-demand student practice pages for each lesson or
assign interactive student practice with videos and tracing activities. There
is also a very helpful practice generator where you can create and assign
personalized practice pages for your student to complete. Perforated pages are
NOT reproducible.
