I just started Logic of English Foundations with my daughter who previously "hated school," in her own words. We truly love it and it's transformed school for us! She's 7 and I suspect mild dyslexia with her. She can't read beyond cvc, and had been asking to learn cursive. We needed a change and I chose LoE Foundations, beginning with level A. She's 6 1/2 years younger than her older sister and I have the time to spend one on one on the lessons with her. It's truly fun and within a week her attitude about school changed. She even spends spare time now working on cursive. Today she asked to do a second lesson so she could learn more. It's been a night and day difference for us! I recommend it wholeheartedly! As far as the cursive thing goes I agree with Denise Eide's, the LoE author. Also, after two years of HWOT print instruction, my daughter has transitioned just fine. My issue is that I was wearing myself out trying to make school more fun and multi-sensory for my daughter. LoE foundations does all the work for me. It's pretty much open and go. Sometimes we need "supplies," but it's usually stuff we already have. Good luck with your decision. It has put the joy back into school for us.
