Yes.. I recall print lessons, in Gr1 and cursive writing in
about Gr3. But my point is that we never got "speed" classes in
writing. Some kids continued to hold their pencils strangely.
As long as you could form the letter/word that was required,
that's all that mattered. So, as long as a student can find the
write key on a kb (whether you hunt and peck or use another
method) that's all that matters.
I have an odd set of LP's "How to Type". I should take a
picture of that and show it.
