Handwriting is an important skill that helps individuals communicate clearly and develop fine motor skills. While digital tools are widely used today, learning to write by hand enhances memory and builds confidence.
There are two primary styles of handwriting:
Cursive handwriting connects letters in a flowing style, leading to faster writing, which is often more elegant. Though less common in schools today, cursive is valued for signatures and personal notes, as well as for enhancing fine motor skills and cognitive development.
Manuscript handwriting, or print, involves writing letters separately, which is clearer and more legible. It is easier for beginners to learn and is often preferred in professional settings where clear communication is essential.
