    I make my own copywork pages for my DD’s.  Has anyone found a font that has the lowercase letters written the old-fashioned way?  I don’t know the correct term, but I taught them to make lowercase A’s with a circle and a line down the right side.  Not like these:  a.

    It would make things easier for us (me) if I had a font that did what I needed and didn’t have to hand write them!

    Thanks, Tonni

    I remembered one that came with my Microsoft Works and just checked it out…Comic Sans MS font makes the letters in a simple printing style (a is a circle with a line instead of like this “a”).  Hopefully you already have that font or another on your pc so you can try it out. HTH

    Tonnie-

    Zaner-Bloser or Zaner-Bloser Simplified is probably the font that you are referring to.

    Are you looking for something that you can do for free, or would you be willing to pay for a program?  If you don’t mind spending a little bit of money, you should try this program: StartWrite.  It has both manuscript and cursive fonts in several different styles.  You can create all kinds of copywork pages.  I love it!  You can get a free sample of their website to see if you like it.

    Oh yeah…the words Zaner Bloser got me what I needed.  Thanks all!  

    Meagan, I would LOVE to purchase the StartWrite, it looks wonderful.  Unfortunately, free is a priority right now.  But I’ve got the link saved…I might be able to swing it before it the next one gets to school age.

    And on the Comic Sans…how come I never noticed the little a before…duh!  I’ve had it all along!  Undecided

    Here’s a great link I found, though, for free school fonts:  http://websitetips.com/fonts/education/  It helps when you have the right words to google with.

    Blessings all, Tonni

    Zaner-Bloser has a tool on their website to make copywork pages – that may help (this may be what you were saying you found, but if not): http://zaner-bloser.com/zbfontsonline/index.htm

    I am trying to find a zaner bloser font for free or to purchase online so that I can start making my own copywork pages.  Does anyone know where I can go to get this?
