At DS's primary school (where he's currently at morning nursery), they have a policy of going straight to teaching cursive script, as they say it has proved easier for children to learn to write one method rather than two (ie simple then cursive). It's a very good school which tends to back them up in this, but I'm not sure that it's right for DS. He was happy to try to write simple letters and doing OK with it, but finds cursive difficult and gives up almost straightaway.
Does anyone know if there's any research to back up going straight to cursive (or not)? Or what are others' experiences with their LOs?
