We recently started practicing some cursive writing, as this project will provide opportunities to create "historical" writing pieces that would look more authentic with this form of writing. We are using cursive to practice our spelling words one time (more if they like), and then they can practice their words any other way they prefer.
Recent research has shown some benefits of wriitng by hand (versus typing), as well as some benefits specific to cursive writing. See more in this New York Times Article. We think it's a good idea to write in many different ways!
