Abstract
Recently, a new manuscript alphabet has been developed. The new alphabet was designed to facilitate transition from manuscript to cursive handwriting. This study compared cursive handwriting samples from 112 first graders who had received instruction using the new alphabet and 134 first-grade students who were instructed using traditional manuscript forms. The two groups did not differ in production of cursive letters.Keywords
