This is the cursive writing in English.
Even such an ancient art of calligraphy is still preserved intact. In modern society, many people can be seen to apply it to their daily life.
For example, the cursive writing of members of the British royal family has attracted much attention:
The Queen's writing gives people a sense of confidence
Princess Kate's writing is neat and rigorous
Megan from the United States, her writing style is a free and easy and beautiful art body
In Britain, most of the top schools require children to practice cursive writing from the age of four.
The King’s school Shenzhen international, as the only overseas branch of the Millennium famous school of King's School of Canterbury in the UK, our teaching method and progress have always been consistent with that of our alma mater in the UK.
The cursive writing course taught in K3 by trained teachers.There are 4 sessions per week, including academic explanations and group counseling exercises as supplementary teaching contents for natural spelling.
Every Monday, we will review and learn new knowledge. At other times, we will practice in groups according to the different learning levels of each child in K3.
In addition, each group practice is also personally supervised by Head Sian, who feeds back the situation of each group and observes the changes and progress of children in each group, so as to facilitate more targeted learning.
For young children, cursive writing has incomparable advantages over printing writing.
01 Improved neural connections
Cursive handwriting stimulates the brain in ways that printing cannot. It improves the dynamic interplay of the left and right cerebral hemispheres, helps build neural pathways, and increases mental effectiveness.

02 Improved ability to read cursive
When individuals cannot read cursive, they are cursively illiterate in their own language. The ability to read cursive is required in many settings.
03 Increased writing speed
The connectivity of a simple cursive style is faster to write than the stop and-start strokes of printing. Speed has been shown to increase attention span during writing.
04 Improved fine motor skills
Cursive handwriting naturally develops sensory skills. Through repetition the children begin to understand how much force needs to be applied to the pencil and paper, the positioning of the pencil to paper at the correct angle, and motor planning to form each letter in fluid motion from left to right.
This physical and spatial awareness allows them to write, but more importantly, builds the neural foundation of sensory skills needed for a myriad of everyday tasks such as buttoning, fastening, tying shoes, picking up objects, copying words from blackboards, and most importantly, reading.
Printing is more difficult than cursive due to the frequent stop-and-start motion when forming letters.
In addition, some printed letters look similar and are easily reversed, like the b and d, which is often confusing to children.
Cursive is of particular value to children with learning challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and difficulties with attention.

06 Improved legibility and spelling ability
Cursive requires children to write from left to right so that the letters will join in proper sequence and with proper spacing, making their writing easier to read.
It also aids with spelling through muscle memory, as the hand acquires memory of spelling patterns through fluid movements that are used repeatedly.

07 Increased self-discipline
Cursive handwriting is complex, and is inherently associated with the development of fine-motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Learning cursive prompts children to also develop self-discipline, which is a useful skill in all areas of life.
The ability to master the skill of writing clearly and fluidly improves the students’ confidence to communicate freely with the written word. Cursive handwriting is a vital life skill.
