Do Kids Really Need to Learn Cursive?

Lastly, cursive writing can dramatically help students with learning challenges such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. So is it worth the effort? I definitely think so, especially because it is easy and fun to do with our simple, step-by-step program that uses colored dots to lead the child instead of a bunch of scrunched-up numbers around the letters. But, if cursive handwriting just did not happen for your kids, you don’t need to feel bad. There are much more important things to worry about. However, it is not too late for a child, or even you as an adult, to pick up the beautiful art form of cursive handwriting.
