the cursive connection

I think, as a therapeutic tutor, that automaticity and fluency are critical in both math AND writing. Cursive is taught to my clients for so many reasons, with the basest outcome being the client can write his/her name in cursive, and can identify the cursive letters. A client choosing to print or use the keyboard over cursive writing is not important, but never teaching cursive is unwise.
