Question and Answer: Why Cursive,
AMI
From 'Question and Answer'
"It is a question that arises again and again: Why do we give the children the cursive alphabet rather than printed letters?
Maria Montessori very deliberately presented the children in San Lorenzo with the cursive alphabet. Experience over many decades, in many countries and societies, has shown that the cursive letters are preferable for several reasons.
Perhaps the most striking of these is that children who, from the beginning, learned to write with the cursive alphabet were able to spontaneously read any type of script."
