Handwriting is a means of expressing language, just like speech. However, handwriting is not taught in school as much as in previous years. In the past, handwriting was taught as a precursor to reading and spelling. Today, students of all ages are rigorously tested on their writing skills, yet they are not allowed the time it takes to develop this skill. I remember writing in a Big Chief notebook, holding a chubby pencil, trying my best to make the curves and lines of the letters just right. When I attended elementary school, the teacher devoted at least forty-five minutes to handwriting each day. Handwriting should still be taught in school because it is an essential first step to reading and expressing one’s thoughts and feelings and because of its impact on higher education.
The article of the week was “Attention Students: Put Your Laptops Away” by NPR.com. This article discussed taking notes digitally, and taking notes by hand. Two scientists, Pam A. Mueller of Princeton University and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of the University of California, conducted research on notetaking. They concluded that taking notes by hand help with memorization more than taking notes via computer. This is because when taking notes by hand you have to process the things that you are writing because you cannot afford to write everything that the teacher says. When you are on a computer you can type fast making it possible to write everything the teacher says down. They proved this by conducting a study involving students, they tested to

Children suffering from various learning disabilities will be more successful if they are taught more ways to succeed.

Cursive handwriting is the script most, if not all, historical documents are written in. In a recent news article in the Seattle Times, former third grade teacher Dorothy Kimble says, “Something is lost when cursive writing is abandoned.

In The Power of Writing by Joel Swerdlow, we are presented to the importance of writing to our civilization. Throughout the years written information has emerged as a primary method of communication. Individuals use whatever is available to write to convey their message. Early forms of writing include carving symbols in stone and bone, written leaves, silk, papyrus, parchment and paper. At the present time writing is used in many settings; for example we have books, text messages, online blogs, lyrics, street signs and emails. There are no limits to written information, and most importantly it can be preserved indefinitely. Writing helps me communicate to others, my identity, creativity and imagination. Individually, I use writing to compose lyrics, write about my personal experiences and to connect with my family. In my opinion, writing is an important tool of communication in my personal and professional development, because it gives an insight of my individual ideas.
Thesis: Cursive writing should be taught in school because children today only know how to hashtag and text. Very few actually know how to write in cursive. Learning cursive will enhance students’ spelling ability and reading skills. It will also help students with learning disabilities.
Written words can be preserved for long periods of time and can be read by those who stumble upon the written work; however, I write only when I feel it is necessary or is asked of me. I seldom feel the urge to get out of bed to write my thoughts of paper. A smaller form of writing that I choose to use every day is when I am messaging someone on my phone or I am making notes for something I have to do later.
As a result, students may write too quickly without revising or considering their words [21][23]. This can lead to errors and less thoughtful writing [24].
