AB  - We are living in an age where knowledge israpidly produced and consumed. In this period, the future of the individual andthe society depends on accessing, using and producing information. Thissituation requires a qualified education and first literacy teaching which isthe foundation of it. Primary school is the foundation of everything; likewise,the first literacy learning is the foundation of learning (Gunes, Uysal andTac, 2016). First literacy is to create a new communication and interactionchannel for the individual by teaching the symbols of humankind that it createdin ten thousand years. Education performs a great miracle by making aseven-year old child comprehend this script that humankind developed in tenthousand years within a seven- or eight-month period (Guleryuz, 2001). It isdesired for and expected of the children who start the first grade in primaryschool at the level of illiteracy to reach the level of basic literacy withqualified first literacy education under the supervision of an effectiveprogram, equipped teacher (Sagirli, 2015). Education in cursive handwriting inour country has started in Ataturk era. Ataturk demonstrated examples of theNew Turkish Latin Letters on the blackboard with the cursive handwriting.Elderly and young people of the generation of Ataturk era have learned thecursive handwriting very well and used for many years. Many documents of thatperiod such as diplomas, identity cards, registry of deeds etc. have beenprepared with cursive handwriting in a clear, cursive and aesthetic form(Gunes, 2006). In our country, it has been decided to start the first literacyeducation with the cursive handwriting under the scope of the 2004 draftprogram. For nearly thirteen years, our students are becoming literate withcursive handwriting. There are many studies in literature that examine theopinions of teachers, students, and parents about the cursive handwriting. Theaim of the concerned study is to express the view from the perspective of theparents of the gifted and talented students on the practice of cursivehandwriting in first literacy education. Within the scope of the research,interviews were conducted with the parents of the gifted and talented studentsand their opinions were taken about starting the first literacy with thepractice of the cursive handwriting. All of the parents are the parents ofgifted and talented children who are attending primary school. The datacollected during the 2016-2017 academic year have been obtained by face-to-faceinterviews. The answers of the parents are recorded and then reported.Screening model is used in the study that is designed by content analysis. Theresearch is a qualitative study. Recommendations are brought at the end of theresearch.
