My ds, 8yrs (2nd grade) has expressed to me that he would like to learn how to write in cursive. So my question is, how do I teach this? Suggestions on different programs or what worked for you would be much appreciated.
He does print well, and is always trying to connect his letters. He says it’s cursive, lol. His version of cursive of course!
Thanks!

We liked the way Handwriting without Tears introduced it best. Another one I used was Queen Homeschool Pictures in Cursive, we really like the art in her books.
I really like Cursive First. It has the “words” that they learn to remind them how to form the letter.
I also teach cursive from the beginning and used Cursive First w/ first child successfully, but then I found Pencil Pente. I like Pencil Pete – a simple software (cheap) that demonstrates over and over how to make the letter. It removes much frustration for me. I think Handwriting w/o Tears is great for print and for cursive, if you like the looks of it. I personally prefer a more traditional cursive to the up and down look of it.
My 5 yo ds has lovely handwriting now, though he’s still working on how to connect the tow truck letters (o, b, etc.)
HTH,
Christie
