The Cursive

Cursive is a style of handwriting where the letters are connected in a flowing manner, allowing for faster and more efficient writing. Unlike print, which has separate, distinct letters, cursive emphasizes continuous strokes, often resulting in a more elegant appearance. This style originated to improve writing speed and was historically used for formal documents and personal correspondence. While less common today due to keyboard use, cursive remains an important part of handwriting education and can enhance fine motor skills and visual-spatial awareness.
