I am not using Abeka this year, but have been looking into it for next year. From what I can tell from the catalog, you can choose either a cursive or manuscript program, but when you choose manuscript you can't get the 10% discounted kit price. In first grade, for example, the only difference I see is in the Writing with Phonics book ~ either cursive or manu.
Hopefully someone else has some better and more personal info about it.
