The style of handwriting currently taught in New Zealand is specified in
|
||||
<em>Teaching Handwriting</em>, a Ministry of Education publication, which was developed
|
||||
in response to teachers’ requests for guidance on the style of handwriting that
|
||||
should be taught in primary school. Teachers and schools usually create their
|
||||
own resources for handwriting instruction based on the style advocated in this
|
||||
document. It was first released in 1985 and again in digital format in 2008.
|
||||
Even though <em>Teaching Handwriting</em> outlines a progressive handwriting system that
|
||||
advances from simplified print script to cursive writing, sometimes teachers
|
||||
will not teach the latter if it is not practical given their students' learning
|
||||
levels and other curriculum needs.

<h4>Playwrite New Zealand characteristics</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This modern cursive style is extremely fast and slanted, featuring simplified
|
||||
print-style uppercase letters. Notable are the open 'G' without a crossbar, a
|
||||
serifed 'I', and a 'Y' with a slanted stem. The lowercase letters are
|
||||
semi-connected, exhibiting a very fast and angular construction typical of
|
||||
modern cursive styles based on italic forms. The letter 'f' has a straight
|
||||
descender, and 'q' is distinguished by a short exit stroke that serves as a
|
||||
finial, enhancing the dynamic and streamlined appearance of the script.
