Cursive helps you write faster. Some even claim that it makes you better at spelling, forming words and sentences and thus overall better writer ( https://www.scholastic.com/parents/books-and-reading/raise-a-reader-blog/cursive-writing-practice.html https://www.scholastic.com/parents/books-and-reading/raise-a... ). I can't attest to all that, but I recognize that it does create more neural pathways and involves more motor skills to learn which are beneficial to a young mind.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoNo idea about whether it is of benefit, but it definitely takes more learning as you can only write decent cursive by muscle memory. Block letters can be written at any pace, cursive must flow.
