Do you have your children do their written work with ink pens or pencils?

I have the  little ones use a pencil pen when they can ..  I got 3 book reports on  CD this week.

For older students,  there are some writing assignments that I prefer to be done in pencil so they can erase and make corrections while other work is to be done in ink so we can save it in our portfolio.

I prefer for my youngest not to use ink as she often gets it on her hands as well as the page but I am not opposed to crayon as a writing implement in addition to pencils.
