[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they teach kinds with dyslexia cursive because it helps with reading.[/quote] I teach dyslexic kids to read and teach cursive (I am a CALT). However, the research that suggests cursive is meaningfully better for supporting reading than manuscript print is slim. The theory is that connection between letters, and the way you flow from one to the other, helps with blending. Cursive can also be helpful in reinforcing things like letter spacing and staying on the line. But I would never suggest that cursive is meaningfully better than manuscript print. However, handwriting is incredibly important! It is critical for learning to read, and it is critical for retaining information when taking notes.[/quote]
