🖋️ **Can learning cursive help kids read better? Some policymakers think it’s worth a try**
"_Why might cursive make a difference? On the surface, it seems like a simple motor skill. But under the surface, cursive handwriting draws upon deep reading knowledge and requires the coordination of multiple cognitive and physical processes._"
🇺🇸 🖋️ **A generation of Americans never learned cursive. So Philly historians are teaching AI to transcribe it.**
_“Within a generation, we will be teaching handwriting and legibility the way we teach a foreign language,” said Bayard Miller, associate director of digital initiatives and technology at APS._

I have been having great fun taking #Japanese hiragana and making a #cursive #alphabet #conscript with it! It is very loopy and fun to write. I included characters for some common words (the, and, and so on) and also some letter abbreviations, etc. It gives me a writing outlet at work without roman letters jumping into people's eyeballs. I was using #Tendrilis, and I still love it, but I wanted a cursive option. I've already written pages and pages and am very pleased with my new alphabet toy.

Bonus #Joke :
My daughter once yelled at me in German.
I yelled back in Klingon.
She was confused.
I was terrified.

![Comic with a woman sitting in a recliner. In front of her, two pre-teen children are staring at their cell phones.
Mom's speech balloon is in cursive. She is saying, "When I was your age, I had to write in a style called 'cursive'."
One child texts to the other, "W-T-H is Mom saying?"
The other child replies in texting abbreviation with "I-D-K."

I always write in #cursive #handwriting and I avoid having digital #clocks in my home. It amuses me when people come over and they can’t read or tell time. #education (https://calebh.top/?p=262)
🇮🇹 🖋️ :youtube: **Why don’t they teach this anymore??**
#Video length: thirty-seven seconds.
Don’t tell me they don’t teach #cursive in school. 2017 when D2 was 10.
Also, do not tell me they cannot read it, because she could read it before she was writing it.
🖋 **Why Cursive Writing and Penmanship Is Important**
Jennifer A. Freeman
“_While penmanship is still rigorously taught in many European schools, current American schoolchildren spend more time mastering typing and computer skills than practicing neat handwriting. But traditional handwriting offers unique cognitive benefits that typing simply can’t replicate_”
