Handwriting practise question.

[admylin]

I'm not allowed to home school as we live in Germany otherwise I would - I have a problem with ds's handwriting in cursive.

In germany they have a few set styles and the one ds has done in school is really awful. I want to get him some work sheets or a book to help him get his writing back to a more readable standard for our eyes (his German teacher said his writing was Ok for her but it's really hard to read for us) Any tips? Up to now he says he HAS TO write like the teacher says but now that he can do it her way I think he could start and tidy it up abit. We could do it when we do english at home for example.

I've tried showing him how I would write or his dad as we both have good handwriting but I think he might get on better with a book to practise.

Have you looked on amazon?
we had a fab copybook in france, we bought it at the local supermarket. Know what you mean about these little differences, my children talk about "writing in french" or "writing in german"

Thanks Nightynight, I'll have a look on Amazon - which style have your kids been taught in Germany? We've got the Schulausgangsschrift and ds also had a year with Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift (and then had to learn the other version when he changed schools) but both are hard to read.

gosh, I dont know what they are called.
They do the r's like english ones. In france, they did copperplate, complete with fancy caps.

I managed to find some worksheets to download if anyone is interested.
