Write Your Own Review
We should not lose sight of the numerous things that handwriting, especially cursive writing, brings to the table in regards to educational and communication skills, and overall development. Benefits of cursive handwriting include:
Strengthening Hand-Eye Coordination
The exercise of using your hands and eyes at the same time for cursive writing improves the use of these two systems. While children develop these skills when learning to print, to stop challenging them and move straight to keyboarding skills alone does not encourage higher-level writing skills.
Increasing Ease and Speed
Many children, especially those with dyslexia, may find it easier to write in cursive once learned. There is less chance of letter reversals, and the encouraged continuous loops in letter formation makes motor planning easier for some children. In addition, cursive writing flows and actually allows students to write faster, so they can put down more information at a time.
Improving Learning By Writing It Down
All children learn differently, but when we are required to write something down, we tend to learn it better. Therefore, whether it be writing from a lecture or copying from the board or a book, children are likely to retain information better.
Continuing a Part of History
Not only does writing in cursive add so many benefits to learning, motor planning and education, it also gives children the ability to read cursive writing, such as historical documents and personal handwritten letters. The argument can be made that many people do not use cursive, however oftentimes cards or letters are written in cursive, especially from loved ones, such as grandparents. As well, documents such the Constitution are written in cursive. If we do not teach children to write in cursive, they will not learn to fluently read it.
