Things you wish you could say

Due to the connections you make while using cursive, it helps to make impressions on the brain. In my experience young children who learn cursive first make an easier transition to print than the other way around. Its also much easier to think of how sounds make words because of the flowing nature of cursive so reading just becomes part of the process. There are a lot of benefits to cursive and learning it early rather than waiting until upper elementary.

There are lots of great articles out there regarding cursive vs print.

Huh, very interesting! Thanks!! We didn’t learn it till later I think and even then it was very brief

I was taught cursive in 3rd grade. My older sister taught me how to write my name in cursive in 1st grade. I wrote it on a paper, and the teacher got mad at me.

"NO! You will learn cursive in 3rd grade! In first grade, we PRINT!"

That's ridiculous.

I've heard stories like this (not just for writing) and it's such a shame.
