Can anyone tell me which font schools use for the words DC take home to learn?

I would like to print some extra ones for Dd1 (who is struggling along at the bottom of the class) of things she takes an interest in.

Thanks

Each school will have chosen their own font.

2 very popular ones are MS Comic Sans and Sassoon Primary because they both do the 'a' like you print it.

Sassoon Primary costs though.

Thanks very much CalicoRose. I already have Comic Sans so will use that. I've no idea how to purchase and install a new font anyway!

Arial or Comic Sans are seen as dyslexic friendly, so most schools choose one of those. I use Comic Sans because, as mentioned, the a and g are like handwriting and I think it's pretty

We also have Nelson handwriting font but it only works on one or two of our programmes, so I rarely bother.

I have installed Sassoon Primary Font without paying!
Look at DaFont.
I prefer this for my SEN kids.

Thanks all for replies and suggestions. I tried her with some words today and Comic Sans seems to be a winner! smile
