 Confusing! this method would definitely cause tears for my kids!Mar 25, 2010
I am so happy that I did not purchase this book and will have to agree with a previous poster. I was very excited when the OT at my children's preschool gave me copies of how to form the letters and said that she would give me lessons on how to teach this method to my children. After looking at the sheets I found them to be rather confusing for me (I don't understand why there were so many steps to form a lower case d for example) and with one child with needs and knowing her personality I knew this was not going to work for her at all. This method would surely cause tears for her. Unfortunately, this is the preferred method in the district.
Right now we are working with a wipe off book in manuscript style and though its not perfect she is not frustrated and enjoys practicing all the letters on her own. I am leaning towards the Zaner-Bloser manuscript because this style seems to be closer to how I write and much simpler in method.

 A black & white book for kids?Dec 12, 2009
This review is for the Letters and Numbers For Me book.
I would really like to know why the author or the editor picked this horrible layout.
The world is not black & white and a child's journey through learning should be full of colors.
 Great for k, 1st and 2nd gradersSep 27, 2009
This book is great to introduce, teach, practice and refresh the basics of writing for kids starting school. Parents should get it to make it fun to "work" and play at home (while the kid is learning and practicing the letters, words and phrases he/she reads, but "forgets" how to spell or write.
You can monitor their improvement and make it a fun activity to do together.

What was wrong with D'Nealian?!Sep 14, 2009
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.

 Loved it!May 15, 2008
Great ideas that I never would have thought of. It works for teaching your own child at home or in a group setting.
