Because most public schools (and many private schools) do NOT even bother to teach cursive anymore. They say in the digital age cursive is no longer needed. This is a big mistake for numerous reasons. The most significant reasons are, first, that writing cursively, rather than typing on a keyboard has been found in research to aid in learning the material being written. The student, when cursively handwriting material, is implanting the material in their brains far more thoroughly than when typing. They remember what they have handwritten better than when typing. A second is connected to taking notes from a lecture course. It has been proven that cursive handwriting is far easier on the hand muscles than the so-called ball and stick printing. In ball and stick printing the hand must pick up the writing instrument and put it down with every stroke needed to print. But in cursive handwriting the hand only has to deal with three simple strokes of the pen or pencil. The hand flows across the page, often without needing to raise up and go down for many complete words. This is much less tiring on the hand muscles than printing. This will be especially important at the high school and college level where taking notes in class is very important. Cursive allows the note-taker to have much more complete coverage of the material he/she is attempting to save for future study and exams.A special feature of Dr. Blumenfeld’s Cursive Handwriting instruction found in the How To Tutor Textbook: There is a special section covering how to teach the LEFT-HANDED student.A little known fact is that teaching children who have never learned to print make the best cursive writers. Teaching children to print is much easier after you have taught them cursive. Most people assume that the young beginner must learn to print before they learn cursive handwriting. This is not universally true. If you have a student who has not been taught either cursive or ball and stick, try cursive first. You might be very surprised to see how readily your student takes to cursive.
