Cursive Vs Printing

I am rethinking my handwriting curriculum for next year and wondered if anyone knows of a handwriting program that uses a scaled down cursive--not every letter connects. It is almost a mix of cursive and printing...which I think most of us do naturally anyway.

I read an article a while back, probably linked from one of the many homeschool blogs I visit, that talked about this sort of handwriting. I think it was a professor, but she was writing about improving her own handwriting as well as her pre-teen daughter's handwriting. She linked to a unique handwriting program and I can't find it anywhere.

Any ideas??

I wish I did, but I'm clueless. Hopefully someone will know.

Could you be thinking about "Handwriting Without Tears" ? I've used the printing program with my beginners and absolutely loved it! (And so did they...NO TEARS!)

Megan,

Actually we have HWT but I was looking for something different....not that I am unhappy with it, just wondering what else is out there. I am leaning toward keeping the HWT going another year.

Thanks!
