Cursive helps dyslexic readers!

Furthermore, cursive helps students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. Because cursive letters are connected, it reduces the chances of letter reversals, a common struggle for children learning to read. Letters like 'b' and 'd,' which are often confused in print, appear distinct in cursive due to their unique strokes and directionality. This distinction assists struggling readers in recognizing letters more accurately and reduces confusion.  In addition to improving letter recognition, cursive enhances writing speed and efficiency. When students develop fluency in cursive, they spend less time focusing on letter formation and more time on composing words and sentences. This automaticity allows for greater focus on reading comprehension and overall literacy development.
