Answer:   

Absolutely!

The best way to teach is to combine teaching the sounds of the letters and handwriting.  

Sounding out and writing letters simultaneously help the students learn more easily.  

Show the children the letter on a card.

Have the children write the letter according to a
 very precise handwriting system described below  

Say the sound of the letter, or the groups of 
        letters, that make up one sound.

Sound out the words you want them to write, using
       these sounds.  

The students must say the sound of the letter or       
        the word as they write it. 

Writing, saying, seeing and hearing simultaneously helps the students remember what they are learning. 

Example:

*The letters a, c, d, f, g, o, s and qu are written by imagining the face of a clock: 

1.  Start these letters at two o'clock:

2.  Move counter-clockwise toward ten o'clock.

3.  Continue down to eight o'clock.

4.  Then around to four o'clock.

5.  Finally, close the letter by going back to two o'clock -or-      
      finish the letter as required. 

Tall straight line letters (b, h, k, and l) start at the top of a line.  

Short straight line letters (i, j, m, n, p, r, t, u, v, w, x, y and z) start of the middle of the line and sit on the line.  Those that go below the line round out from four o'clock  to eight o'clock.
