This all led to looking at D'Nealian cursive workbooks and from what I am sensing, the biggest difference is not necessarily the font but HOW cursive is taught. Prior to that update, they focused their connections on the end of the letter. More searching has led me to think that the latest D'Nealian cursive font has been updated to include the connector in front of the letter. However, in my search of D'Nealian font, not all lowercase letters were shown to start at the baseline. I then spent a lot of time today trying to find out what sets it apart and have even asked that LOE would clarify differences, too. What I wrote was what LOE highlighted about their program so I took it to mean that was how they were different. I've since rephrased the sentence because as I looked up D'Nealian cursive, I understand your question about my statement. Thanks for reading through this review, Kate.
