Hey all, Jennifer here. There was a scary article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution this Sunday regarding the decline of cursive handwriting in our schools. With the rise of technology, it’s not hard to believe that schools in future years will no longer be teaching this skill to children. We all remember the countless D’Nealian worksheets we did as children. These will be replaced with typing drills and other skill builders required to navigate the world of technology to come. Is cursive necessary or will it become a lost art?
