“Why do our children need cursive?!” 😭
I get asked this question quite often. So I’m going to share the importance of cursive handwriting 🌸 especially in Early Childhood.

I will probably catch smoke for this but growing up in a strict household and friends who also had strict parents, I frown upon strict parenting so much. We became adults who are still “babies”. My friends and I struggled to transition into adulthood.
I swear having strict parents has really saved some of us from a lot of things

1. Cursive develops the Fine Motor Skills of a young child.
This means; a child would have to fully focus on his/her pencil grip when forming cursive letters.
This practice improves their ability to tie shoelaces, tie knots, squeeze a sponge etc.

2. Cursive Handwriting is SO IMPORTANT for children who may be dyslexic.
Cursive letters and print letters are not the same (few exceptions). However, cursive is easier for a dyslexic child to read from.
A more practical example:

Please remind your learners to bring 2L of petrol next week for a science project.

The letter “b” and “d” can easily confuse a dyslexic child.
But the cursive formation of b and d may appear entirely different , thus, causing less room for confusion.

You will find that a child who struggles to write using cursive/form cursive letters, might not be able to tie his/her shoelaces.

4. My favorite!! - CONCENTRATION!!!!
Cursive really improves the concentration of a child due to its fine detail!
Take a child who is writing in print and place them with one writing in cursive.
Watch who will pay the most attention to their writing.

3. Cursive is also quite good at helping children with their spatial orientation.
This means a child is likely to learn the difference between “left, right, up, down.” quicker using cursive.
Letters in cursive have a strict formation that needs you to start at a certain point

5. Increased writing speed.
Writing in print requires a lot “stop start. Pause etc.”
Cursive is joined letters which are ongoing. The more a child writes in cursive, the better their writing speed.

7. A very underrated reason but cursive improves neatness due to how particular it is and the amount of detail required.
So a child is usually very careful during cursive.

6. Hand-eye co-ordination.
Well, writing in print also develops this but I will add it.
You know that skill when a child has to aim during ball games? Yup. That skill is , too, developed during cursive writing
