Why use cursive handwriting?
The rhythm involved in cursive writing lends itself to a more efficient use of movement by not having to relocate the pencil with each new letter that is written. Proper spacing is aided in the writing of words. Cursive letters are not isolated, but are always connected to form words. Cursive writing is more independent of confusion due to directionality. It helps clear up common reversals and inversions, such as, b/d, m/w, and saw/was.
