About Us. Contact Us. Product Selection Criteria. Product Safety. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn cursive. Scratch that. It's an art. It's not lost quite yet. When you write in cursive, you are encouraged to embrace your artistic side.
It's a style of penmanship that connects the neighboring letters together, adding a few loops and leans along the way, and it adds gravitas no matter what you're writing. One of the reasons people write in cursive script is because it's faster than printing each letter. Because the cursive letters are connected, you lift your pen less frequently, which cuts down on time spent forming the letters.
Beauty and speed? It's a win-win. What we know as cursive originated in an old method of writing. This can be detrimental to the full development of students. However, cursive writing could be considered an art form all its own. It is one more way for students to develop the side of their brain that is not developed by basic reading and writing skills. The more diverse a teaching curriculum is, the better. Without being able to read cursive writing, students will undoubtedly be kept from many opportunities to read important documents.
Think about it: so many historical documents are written in cursive. While some of these documents are readily available online in print form, not all of them are. Not only will students miss out on a part of history, they may very well miss out on reading important letters and cards from their grandparents or great-grandparents, too. Older generations often still write in cursive on a daily basis, and kids often rely on their parents to translate these letters and cards for them because they simply cannot read the cursive writing.
Simply utilizing cursive in your daily life provides support for your child. You might try writing shopping lists or exchanging handwritten notes in cursive, and including your child in the process. Emphasizing the names of letters too early makes phonetic learning more difficult for new writers and readers.
