Cursive handwriting stimulates brain synapses and synchronicity between the left and right hemispheres, something absent from printing and typing. As a result, the physical act of writing in cursive leads to increased comprehension and participation. The College Board found that teen students who wrote in cursive for the essay portion of the SAT scored slightly higher than those who printed.”
