      My ds writes in cursive and when the letters are unjointed, they are with all the flicks and tails. Is this acceptable in spore ? He'll be in primary 1 in 2014.

      My DD who will be in P1 in 2014 is showing interest in cursive method.
      Wonder I should pursue :scratchhead:

        My ds was taught cursive at school (currently we’re overseas), he doesn’t write regular straight letters. I wonder moe deem it acceptable? Cos it’s really hard to get him to write in 2 different styles. At his best, at the letters as flicks. I’m at lost what to do…

          My eldest started to show interest in cursive handwriting around end P3 and by P4 her penmanship was all cursive. I only ensured that it MUST be legible. If her cursive handwriting slowly geared towards lazy and/or illegible, I told her I'd rather she write straight up like she used to. It should never be an excuse for her to lose marks because she couldn't decipher her own writing. :rant: Yes, her lazy cursive occasions have landed her in getting unnecessary mistakes in her work. Her written work were all accepted whether it was cursive or not by that time (P3/P4).


          My thoughts are, as long as the cursive is neat and legible... it should not pose as a problem for it to be allowed and accepted. 😉

            That means as long as its legible and neat - It should be fine.

                  Impressive! I just looked up some 5 year old writing samples to see what average is like, your DD writes very well. These are from a kindergarten teacher.
