What Form Of Cursive Is This?

[Landofnone]

I was looking through some old boxes and i found some old homeschooling books, Science, English, Math etc. As i was looking through the English papers, i notice some form of cursive. I tried googling different styles of cursive but I've not been able to find a match.

It looks like the one I learnt in Queensland primary school during the 60's and we simply called it running writing.

Do you happen to still use this form of cursive, or have you gone to Palmer Method or the likes.

I also learned cursive in Queensland but by then I think it was called 'modern cursive' and they'd done away with most of the loops.

 

It is funny as my writing now seems closer to the old Queensland cursive than modern Queensland cursive. When I was a teenager I used to copy samples of other people's writing and I wonder if I picked it up from copying samples of people who had learned the old way.

 

I've messed with my handwriting so much now that it barely resembles anything anymore.

Aside from the capital A, that's the cursive I was taught in the US (in the state of Alaska) in the early 1980s. Don't know a name for the style, though, sorry.

I believe it's called D'Nealian. It's the cursive I was taught in the early 2000's in 3rd grade here in the US.

I think you're right.

 

I learned Palmer method and the year after the school switched to teaching D'Nealian. I remember we made fun of it for the relative lack of loops.
