California public schools now require cursive writing for first through sixth-grade students, reviving the traditional practice.

Cursive has cognitive benefits, creating a connection between hand movement and visual response, aiding spelling skills and word recognition.

Sofia Cach, 11, said, “It’s like a fun experience to write with cursive, and it kind of helps you write neater.”

According to Resilient Educator, “Cursive letters, however, look very different from print letters. This gives dyslexic students another option — an option that can decrease their dyslexic tendencies and make them more confident in their abilities.”

It’s particularly helpful for students with disabilities like dyslexia. Despite concerns about its relevance, cursive remains valuable for reading historical documents and offers artistic and aesthetic appeal.
