pianomom6 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Does Pen time cursive have enough instruction and simple practice for a 2nd grader who hates to write and struggles with handwriting? Or would you use something else for beginning cursive? If so who would have a similar font? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Is your heart set on that font? It seems like a tough one for kids with writing struggles. Edited July 21, 2016 by Tiramisu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianomom6 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 That is good to know. Would there be better options that still have a fancier font? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Having had kids who struggle with writing, I don't think I'd go for a fancier font in second or third grade. It took me many years to agree to try Handwriting Without Tears Cursive and I'm sorry I waited. My youngest's biggest problem is forming letters automatically. It took a really long time to get there and she's not there with cursive. She's very bright and has no fine motor problems, but she needs a lot of time and repetition to get that muscle memory. She also has the signs of spatial dysgraphia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
