Kindergarten Reading & Writing

My Father's World Kindergarten curriculum has some fun themes, and an LA program that makes complete sense. The year starts with learning the letters of the alphabet, and ends with teaching CVC words. Handwriting begins with the letter 'S' since this is the most difficult to write from a fine motor skill perspective, giving the student the longest time to practice it through the year.

I do, however, want to begin cursive early on because research I have read has convinced me that this is the right approach and results in less confusion between the letters (e.g. 'b' is not confused with 'd') and neater handwriting. This is the approach that has successfully been adopted across Europe. We will be using A Beka's Cursive.
