phonics/handwriting font

i'm wondering if anyone knows what this might be? i'm having a hard time finding a font i can use in my classroom to match my wall alphabet.

i need a monocular g like the one shown in the pic... and, a nice curved tail on the lowercase q, as well as the j. ideally this font (or one really darn close) would also have an alternate lowercase y (rounded and pointed). the font must have the less "stylized" lowercase a -- not sure what to call that.

thanks in advance for your skills!

(really, i just wish i could redo the whole curriculum to a nicer kindergarten font, but... alas, i must be consistent.)

and, i've noticed a difference in the lowercase e on these three pic samples... i much prefer the balanced e on the yellow card, fyi.

A quick Google search gave me some links to commonly used fonts for teachers.

http://www.educationalfontware.com/EFI_home_page.html - this is a CD for $50 with 21 fonts on it.

http://www.downhillpublishing.com/fonts4teachers.cfm - this has individual fonts to purchase and download for $15.

Blue Vinyl's Print Clearly is a fine freeware school type, but sadly does not have a tail on the "q" or an alt for the "y".

And, for your type-education, the less stylised "a" is termed "single-storey".

Schoolhouse is close, but the y is different:
