The purpose
Purpose
My main objective of this project was to enhance my cursive writing skills and become proficient in teaching others. Ultimately, I want to develop a strong foundation in cursive writing that I can share with others by breaking down the process into manageable steps, demonstrating how to write each letters, and providing feedback to help them improve their writing skills.
Benefits of Cursive Writing
Learning to write in cursive has a few potential benefits, including:
1. Speed: Writing in cursive can be faster than writing in print, as it allows you to write in a more flowing, connected manner.
2. Signature: Cursive writing can also be used to create a unique signature that can be difficult to forge.
3. Brain development: Learning to write in cursive can stimulate different parts of the brain than printing or typing, which may help with cognitive development.
4. Historical documents: Being able to read and write in cursive is important for understanding historical documents, such as letters and journals, which may be written in cursive.
Steps to learning
Step One
Familiarize yourself with the cursive alphabet: Before you start writing in cursive, take some time to study the cursive alphabet. This will help you understand how the letters are formed and how they connect to each other.

Reflection
I acquired the skill of reading and writing cursive text, especially letters. Initially, I faced some difficulties as I did not use traceable sheets, but with the help of visual and auditory aids, I managed to overcome them. However, I believe that using traceable sheets would have made the process easier. On the other hand, I also had some successes, such as an improvement in my signature and the acquisition of a new skill that I can use in the future.
