They will be introduced to it in the last term of grade two- in preparation for grade three where they will develop these skills further- but this all depends on a school's curriculum. In KG 1 - grade one they are taught manuscipt writing, which can either involve tracing over the letters ( same as in cursive at the beginning) until eventually they can write it on their own. They first learn how to write the letter individually, then they begin to learn how to attach the letters with special strokes. Gradually they move on to writing words and then sentences in the cursive form.

Handwriting is a special activity that helps enhance a child's academic self-esteem and promotes good handwriting. The development of good handwriting helps reading, spelling, and encourages accuracy. It is pleasant and enjoyable thus, helps thinking.

My daughter started it when she was in 3rd grade. They have increased the use of cursive writing in most subjects, except math and spelling. As they go into high school, her school says they do all their homework in cursive and do daily journals and expect them to take notes at all times. Some kids will take longer because they still need to improve on their printing. My daughter is now in the 5th grade and there are a few of her classmates still on printing.
