 Re: Why Teach Cursive? | |
Former teacher here. I taught printing in K and cursive in Gr. 3. My kids just finished Gr. 4 & Gr. 6. Sadly, neither can write well in cursive. Our district spends very little time teaching it because they don't feel it's necessary. I think this is very unfortunate. I have had to teach my kids how to write their signatures.
Sure, handwriting may not be as prevalent as it once was due to the computer age, but I still think it's an important life skill. |
