-Educational Vertical cursive models first appeared in the 19th century in France, England, and the USA as simplified forms of their predecessors, Roundhand and Spencerian styles, respectively. The upright cursive writing did not enjoy a long period of popularity in northern European and Anglo-American countries. It was, however, widely adopted in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France, where it is still used. From these countries, it traveled to erstwhile colonies such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, among others. In Brazil, this resulted in the replacement of the then-popular models of handwriting, such as Palmer from the US and commercial Roundhand script from England, with the vertical cursive approach. + Educational Vertical cursive models first appeared in the 19th century in + France, England, and the USA as simplified forms of their predecessors, + Roundhand and Spencerian styles, respectively.

-The most prevalent style of handwriting taught in Chile is known as ‘letra ligada’, or joined letters. This form of cursive handwriting is introduced to children as early as 6 years old, either alongside print letters or as a standalone style. It can be seen as a slantless variant of English roundhand, a calligraphic style that emerged in England, gaining widespread popularity in the 18th century, but Chilean type designers note that, while there are structural similarities between the two styles, there are also notable differences. For instance, letra ligada typically features shorter ascenders and descenders, and its uppercase letters are less ornate. This divergence is present in both contemporary typographic and calligraphic examples. + The most prevalent style of handwriting taught in Chile is known as + ‘letra ligada’, or joined letters.

-Literacy education in Cuba is notable for its distinctive approach: students are introduced to two different styles of letters from the outset, one for reading and the other for writing. Textbooks feature print-style, typographic letters represented by either geometric or grotesque sans serifs for reading. These styles are consistent across all workbooks and textbooks, with the exception of those focused on writing and calligraphy. For these, a fully-joined, cursive style is used, drawing inspiration from calligraphic models from the United States, notably the Palmer Method, created by Austin Palmer , and the Zaner-Bloser method, developed by Charles Paxton Zaner and his partner Elmer Ward Bloser. + Literacy education in Cuba is notable for its distinctive approach: students + are introduced to two different styles of letters from the outset, one for + reading and the other for writing.

-The ‘écriture cursive’, or traditional vertical cursive, is the most used approach to handwriting teaching in schools in France.

-The implementation of modern cursive styles in classrooms is probably the most influential development for contemporary handwriting education. They draw from the ideas of the Italic Handwriting Revival movement of the early 20th century, and the work of its proponents. Alfred Fairbank (1895–1982) proposed modern italic writing, based on chancery models, as a new approach to teaching handwriting with the aim of simplification and faster writing speed. Recently, it has been one of the most popular approaches to handwriting teaching in England. Of the twenty-three methods described in the National Handwriting Association’s 2013 guide to writing methods for teaching, thirteen were fully joined or semi-joined modern cursive styles.

Playwrite Ísland characteristics

-This slanted modern cursive handwriting is crafted for high-speed writing and features print-style uppercase letters, with 'M' notably having splain legs. The lowercase letters are inspired by early Italic calligraphies, including the chancery style. Letters that end with a descender do not connect to the subsequent character, making this a semi-connected model. Both 'b' and 'p' feature closed bowls, while 'z' and 'r' are designed with an italic structure, stressing the script’s aesthetic and functional attributes. + This slanted modern cursive handwriting is crafted for high-speed writing and + features print-style uppercase letters, with 'M' notably having splain legs. + The lowercase letters are inspired by early Italic calligraphies, including the + chancery style.

This path may vary at the discretion of the teacher or the school, but in fourth grade, students are expected to have well-formed and legible handwriting with a certain degree of fluency. + In Norway, the most prevalent form of handwriting in education is the + stavskrift.

-Due to the absence of handwriting education guidelines in the curriculum and no prescribed model, there is a great deal of diversity in the approaches to handwriting teaching. The most widespread method is to teach uppercase print-style letters first and connected cursive writing second. However, in some schools, students may start with cursive writing in the first grade itself, and in others, cursive writing is not taught at all. An important difference is seen in private schools, where handwriting may be taught using models imported from abroad.

The lowercase letters have looped extenders and showcase a unique two-stroke construction of 'k'. The letter 'f' is characterized by a straight descender, while 'v' and 'w' are noted for their knots, adding to the distinctiveness of this cursive style. + This upright continuous cursive handwriting model features medium-length + ascenders and descenders.

-In Vietnam, an official handwriting model for teaching in primary schools was adopted in 2002. It is called the mẫu chữ thảo tiếng việt, or Vietnamese official cursive script, and has been in use from academic year 2002-03 onwards. Based on this model, students learn to write in both upright and (optionally) sloped cursive letters, without ever being taught print letters. Nevertheless, they do practice drawing the basic strokes that make up letters in preparation. Handwriting education happens between Grades 1 to 3, and while students are introduced to writing using a pencil, they graduate to writing with fountain pens while they are still in primary school. + In Vietnam, an official handwriting model for teaching in primary schools was + adopted in 2002.

Playwrite Việt Nam characteristics

-The model follows the structure and proportions of the upright, monolinear version of the Vietnamese official cursive script. These are the versions that are prioritized for teaching, while others may be introduced if the situation is conducive. The letter shapes derive from the French traditional vertical cursive writing, featuring long ascenders and descenders and round and fully joined lowercases. Letters 'b', 'r', 'v', and 'w' make use of knots to change the stroke direction, 'n' and 'm' have curved entry strokes and 'x' is created by means of two mirrored curves. Notable upper case features are the triangular yet decorative shapes of 'A', 'V' and 'W', and an 'S' with an upright spine. + The model follows the structure and proportions of the upright, monolinear + version of the Vietnamese official cursive script.

Playwrite South Africa characteristics

-This continuous cursive features a gentle slope and a relatively slow pace of construction. The uppercase letters incorporate cursive elements, with looped descenders in 'G', 'J', 'Y', and 'Z', enhancing their fluidity. The lowercase letters have looped ascenders and descenders to support seamless connections between letters. Notably, this style does not include curved entry strokes in 'm', 'n', 'v', and 'w', which is a departure from typical continuous cursives. However, it includes distinctly curved shapes in the letters 'x' and 'z', adding a dynamic element to the overall script. + This continuous cursive features a gentle slope and a relatively slow pace of + construction.
