Teaching it right, the first time..

Jr. is learning to write all the alphabets. It has been a work in progress for the last year!

I may have finally found the problem. Most of the books here which teach her how to write the letters just have wrong ways of writing the english alphabet.

As far as I know, when we write, we try to have as many strokes going from left to right because the language is read and written "left to right"!

Here is a simple question. What is the correct way to write capital M ?

I would choose the first way, and I do write like that.. Jr. is being asked to write the second way! Would'nt that just slow you down if you wrote letters back and forth ?

This is an official text book !! Or maybe I was just taught wrong ?
