Ah. Now I understand. The Touch Contact Star does not mean "touching  
and then moving away"...

So please do not teach that...that is not true at all.

The Touch Contact Star, all by itself, simply means "Touch", and the  
details of writing whether it stays on the surface, or moves away, is  
either assumed because we are writing for everyday use, or we write  
the details in different ways, to give the reader more information...


So I assume, when I read these two signs below, that there is  
"lasting contact"...in both of these cases, there is lasting contact...

There is no "touching and moving away" in either of these cases when  
I read them...I will try to create a new little eLesson on this issue  
and tell you when I post it...smile...

The one to the left is lasting contact because of the general  
movement arrowheads, and the one to the right is assumed to be  
lasting contact because there are no arrows that show the hand  
leaving the contact...
