Cursive is making a comeback. But does it deserve one?

Being able to write in cursive can have benefits for learners.

A 2020 study conducted in Norway hooked up 12 adults and 12 preteens to
brain-imaging devices while they wrote in cursive, drew and typed.

They found that writing in cursive activates the brain waves and neural
pathways used for learning and for memory. Learning to write in cursive is
also associated with better outcomes for learners with dyslexia and
dysgraphia, a neurological learning disability that makes writing
difficult.
