D'Nealian

D'Nealian is a handwriting style designed to ease the transition from manuscript (block) letters to cursive. It features slanted, flowing letters that are similar in shape to cursive but are still connected, helping students develop proper letter formation and movement. The approach emphasizes consistent starting points, smooth strokes, and the development of fine motor skills, making handwriting more natural and efficient. D'Nealian is often used in elementary education to prepare students for cursive writing while fostering legibility and speed.
