I truly believe in the wisdom of teaching children cursive first and I believe that children will naturally pick up print. However, I have found that my son has trouble remembering which line to trace when making letters over cursive tracing fonts. I also find some cursives have too much flourish whereas the modern cursives can be too choppy. I think I have created my solution.
I am thinking of creating a website that will contain printable cursive worksheets similar to the ones I made for my science coloring pages that can be seen here:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx37yOI2c3CsZTRxTjhycDVGelEI think that would be a great way to share my other resources and lesson plans. I have ideas for math (with an artsy slant), and some grammar lessons as well as more science. All would contain reading recommendations and possibly printable readers, songs, etc. The cursive curriculum would likely be integrated thoughout the others as well as on its own. It will go from words to sentences and onward all the while, the outline will become lighter and the text smaller.
If I could get enough together to warrant such a thing, would $50 a year be too much to ask? Thoughts? Opinions?
