Learning to write! For all of you reading this, it's probably been a long time since you bent over a double-line notebook and diligently tried to form letters in the given space, with the right size and spacing.
What looks easy now, however, took you many hours of diligent, conscientious work. 26 letters, upper or lower case... quite a challenge.
For teachers, producing suitable exercises has never been easy either. It has to be done by hand. Here's a simple tool to help you produce them quickly and professionally: cursive fonts.
Maternellecolor offers its fonts for download and, at full size, you can produce pages of handwriting exercises in any language you like, as long as it uses the Roman alphabet. There are even fonts with pencil direction arrows for tracing!
What more can I say than "well done" to Maternellecolor!

Experience can be described as movement. The individual is traversed by an experience, or traverses the experience. But it is also possible to call on other approaches to understand a subtle dimension of the bond that is deposited during this learning experience.
