Cursive to Print
Question
I teach my child cursive letters and I have the movable alphabet. However, most storybooks are in print. My child gets confused. What should I do? He is 4 years old. He can already read CVC words that I write in cursive but if I write the same words in print, he can't read them.
Answer
Great question. It sounds like your child is doing really well. Because we live in such a print-rich world, we often find that children do not need an explicit lesson when they transition from seeing cursive to reading print. But sometimes they do. Here's what you can do to help.
