I was shocked to discover that cursive writing is no longer taught in elementary schools. I had an encounter with a young person who could not read my writing and I have nice handwriting. I had written "five" with a capital "F" and they had no idea what it was. I searched for an alternative and I found Nan J. Barchowsky. Her books are nearly impossible to find however they are offered in pdf form on her website. I highly recommend all of her books and her videos. She also has an email address to which I recently sent a question. I got a response quickly from her son who informed me that his mother, Nan, died recently. Lucky for us we can still benefit from her books and videos that are still available. There is a revised edition of BFH, a Manual for Fluent Handwriting however, it is pretty pricey at $65 and Fix it Write can cost anywhere from $225 to well over $1000 used. Fix it Write is not even a book. It is in loose leaf form and will require a 3 ring binder to put it in. I would recommend purchasing it in pdf form from her web address.
