With so many people using computers and tablets, cursive writing isn't used as often as it once was. Many schools are wondering if cursive is a skill that still needs to be taught.In a recent Mashable story, occupational therapist Suzanne Asherson says there’s a link between cursive writing and brain development, and it should still be considered a part of a valuable skill set students are taught.“In today’s world… children need to know how to both use keyboarding to type, as well as being able to pick up a pencil or a pen and be able to write,” Asherson said to Mashable. “Both skills are necessary and should be taught to our children in order to have functional adults who are efficient in their jobs and in the real world.”
