About Cursive and More
Welcome to cursive and more. This site was developed as a result of the steady and continued decline of cursive handwriting over the past few decades. Being concerned parents, we decided to be proactive and share our knowledge and abilities to help others acquire the valuable skill of cursive handwriting. We know there are many benefits from the early to the senior years of peoples lives in having the ability to write by hand. Through many hundreds of years cursive handwriting has been considered the highest standard of written communication. It has benefited human kind well in the past, and our desire is to have it kept alive to serve us now and in the future.
