[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it should. Brain to hand connections are important in our development as thinkers. [/quote] +1 Learning cursive helps the brain/hand slow down so that the child is actually moving AS he/she sounds out a word in his or her head. Studies show that the level of analysis is better when things are written. I used to type all my notes in class in grad school.... turns out the research now says that people who take notes on paper do better. I was really good at taking dictation --- but I would have been better off listening and synthesizing the points rather than typing them verbatim. My ADHD kid does better in cursive than in printing... it forces him to slow down and concentrate. My other child never really learned cursive and hasn't had to use it (b/c of lesser quality teachers) -- and she has not developed the patience that my younger ADHD child is developing by writing assignments in cursive.
