Yes, generally, cursive writing is faster than print.
Cursive's connected strokes allow for a more fluid writing motion, leading to increased speed and reduced fatigue. Here's a breakdown of why cursive can be faster:
- Fewer Stops: In cursive, letters within a word are connected, minimizing the need to lift the pen. This continuous motion contributes to speed.
- Fluidity: The flowing nature of cursive allows for a more natural and rhythmic writing experience.
- Reduced Fatigue: Because there are fewer stops and starts, writing in cursive can be less tiring for the hand and wrist over extended periods.
While individual writing speeds can vary based on personal skill and preference, the inherent design of cursive lends itself to faster writing compared to the more deliberate and segmented process of printing. The linked strokes in cursive make it inherently faster and easier on the writer.
