Abstract
ABSTRACT Learning how to trace out letters constitutes an important technical element in the mastery of writing. Teaching students how to do so requires decision-making: either teaching manuscript writing, cursive writing or both and choosing which instructional practices to favor. This synthesis aims to take stock of the knowledge that comes from the research that can allow us to shed light on these choices. In the footsteps of a synthesis published in 2012, we found 41 scholarly writings published between 2012 and 2021. These articles confirm and specify some elements of this synthesis through a snapshot of choices made according to country: learning prerequisites for handwriting acquisition and the effect of different types of intervention on the handwriting acquisition. These scientific papers also highlight new knowledge that concerns learning how to handwrite in general and the consequences of choices made on the learning of reading and writing.
