Why Teach Cursive Today?

Middle and High School students can’t READ cursive! They are unable to read teacher’s assignments or comments on their papers. Historical documents, reading letters from Grandma, family love letters are lost to this generation. Studies have shown cursive writers score higher on SAT and AP tests and become quick note takers. They have a personal signature.
