Children learning languages that use roman characters learn simple capital 
block letters first. Then lower case. Then some rules about upper and lower 
case. Then handwriting such as cursive (joined-up writing) is learned. Anything 
handwritten in the "real world" will be both block and cursive, so they have to 
learn how to read both.

Critical to tolerating (typically craptastic) handwriting, is forming a kind of 
muscle memory for whole word recognition. That way the non-recognition of one 
or sometimes more characters will still permit the word to be recognized. The 
reason why serif fonts are used in printed material like papers, magazines and 
books, is that the fancy add-ons like collars, loops, crossbars, proper 
ascenders/descenders is it makes whole word recognition easier and efficient.

Well the main thing you seem to want is a sans-serif font without loops on the 
characters that traditionally use them. Some typefaces that might meat the 
requirement are Chalkboard and Futura. Another way to do this is write out some 
key words by hand the way you want them to look and use one of the online 
typeface recognizers to tell you what the closest typeface is.
