Is Cursive Nessasary ?

Cursive develops the brain in a lot of positive ways. The development of the brain is very important and helpful. Science writer Maria Konnikova even says that " children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn cursive but they also remain better at generating ideas and retaining information." In other words it's not only what we write that counts -- but how. I think this is a perfect example of one of the Benefits of cursive other than "it's faster".

Personally I have had many experiences with cursive and I know it's benificial. I've seen how cursive is helpful because I just recently learnt cursive and have really seen a difference, not only in the neatness of my handwriting but I can finally read my grandmothers birthday cards. Cursive writing compared to printing is more beneficial because the movement task is more demanding. The letters are less stereotypical , and the visual recognition requirements create a broader repertoire of letter representation. Cursive is more demanding for the brain therefor creates a challenge, this makes the brain used to challenges and that's why it should be taught.

To finish it all off cursive is important and should stay a known form of writing. Cursive challenges the brain therefor training it to become better. It also helps to develop the brain which everybody want, because the development of the brain is very important. Cursive should be brought back in all schools, so that's we can keep getting smarter!
