Cursive Writing: Learn Your Signature!

Posted: May 4, 2020

While cursive writing is no longer in our curriculum, it is still an incredibly important skill. Many people still write in cursive, and if you don't know it, you may not be able to read their message. (Many of my students were unable to read my feedback to them because it was in cursive writing!) 

If you don't have time (or interest) in learning to write the entire alphabet in cursive, you should still learn to sign your first and last name. There are a variety of times you will need to sign your signature when you are older, including:

  • driver's license
  • work documents
  • buying a car
  • buying a house
  • signing your marriage certificate
