Title: What was wrong with D'Nealian?!
Review: I have three children... one that learned handwriting using D'Nealian (without any tears), and one that learned with this AWFUL and very frustrating program in 2008-2009 school year. I helped out in that kindergarten class, and I found that most of the children had issues with knowing where letters were placed on or within the lines and how the letters were formed. Unfortunately, I have just found out that the pre-school that my third goes to is switching to this confusing program.I, myself, learned with D'Nealian, and I am extremely perplexed as to why everyone is tossing out such a great and established handwriting program for this "feel good" (NOT) load of junk.This is one more reason for all of us to be concerned about where America places in world education rankings.
