The benefits of cursive go beyond writing. Learning to write in cursive is shown to improve brain development in the areas of thinking, language, and working memory. Cursive handwriting stimulates brain synapses and synchronicity between the left and right hemispheres, something absent from printing and typing. Cursive requires you to be able to flow from one letter to another without a break when compared to print where you lift your pen after every character. This continuity plays a major role in growth.
