I wonder if there has been any formal study on this topic. Have you done any searching on-line in this area? It would seem like an interesting study, if there were one. :) This is an excellent reflection and analysis of Graffiti on the Palm and using Giraffe to practice.

Transition from cursive to print has not been easy for a handful of my students. I have a particular student who is still having difficulity writing the letter b and d in lower case. Flipping the letter is still an issue, and I think that Giraffe would be excellent practice for this student. Thanks for the idea! Janet,
