Hi, I happen to read this blog today. This is so true yet so strange! My daughter is dyslexic and she went to a special summer camp just for dyslexic kids. During camp, she learned phonics, latin, and ...cursive writing (we called this type of handwriting cursive in North America)! I was puzzled why the camp put some much efforts in this as she was already a grade 9 student at that time. After the camp, her reading and writing improved significantly. Yet something strange had happened that I don't understand for years, until now, reading your blog. Her writings are so much better whenever she uses cursive writing! It's very strange. Even now, if she writes in block letter, or even type, her writings style down grade to primary school level (sometimes, worse than that, with loads of spelling errors). But when she switches back to cursive, her writings immediately becomes professional and proper! I don't understand why this is so until now! It's amazing to see how schools in UK recognize this behaviour of the brain! Schools in North America still mainly view cursive writing as calligraphy only. [版主回覆06/04/2013 21:15:22]其實cursive真係有佢嘅好處，可幫小朋友睇一個字成一組，正楷嘅話，佢地睇唔到字母間嘅連繫性。 你嘅分享好好，請問我可以轉載嗎？我好希望香港嘅學校都可以一教就教cursive (同埋教phonics,而唔係字母讀音）。你嘅分享可證明畀大家睇cursive嘅好處！ 謝謝！
我想知點解用handwriting style可以幫助串字嘅。

我諗係因為如果寫正字嘅話,小朋友會續隻字母咁睇,而用HANDWRITING STYLE嘅,小朋友會成個字咁睇, 會幫佢地記得成個字嘅字形, 繼而以圖像記憶增強小朋友嘅串字能力:)
