I believe that not only cursive writing, but cursive writing with a pencil on scratchy low-quality paper helped kids learn to read and spell. That muscle effort plus the slow painstaking creation of each letter while saying the sound of the letter in your head or outloud—and then blending it into the next connected letter—how could this not be helpful?
I’ve been blown away by the quiet messages I’ve received — especially from people in the theater world — saying “Thank you for saying what I can’t.”

Thank you for being the voice of reason, Dr. Laibow. In my comment above, I likened Dr. Alexander's call for warp speed legal trials to the disastrous clinical trials of Operation Warp Speed.
