I began homeschooling my daughter this past year. She is in 1st grade and using the ABeka Homeschooling system. She learned cursive the first half of her 1st grade year and had no problems at all. Her cursive is much neater and prettier than her print. When my second daughter reaches K4, I want to homeschool her as well and I will begin the cursive curriculum with her. Because of the individualized attention and instruction that my daughter is getting, cursive was very easy for me to teach to her and we do not spend more than 15 minutes per day on Writing.
