Mclearners Cursive Writing Class 1 by Sr. M. Bindu Thomas

Cursive (also known as script or longhand, among other names), is any style of penmanship in which some characters are written joined together in a flowing manner, generally for the purpose of making writing faster. Formal cursive is generally joined, but casual cursive is a combination of joins and pen lifts.

The writing style can be further divided as "looped," "italic," or "connected." The cursive method is used with a number of alphabets due to its improved writing speed and infrequent pen lifting. In some alphabets, many or all letters in a word are connected, sometimes making a word two single complex strokes.
