Why are children taught alphabet joined-up writing?

In this digital age, people are shifting more and more to typing than writing. But handwriting still plays a very important role especially as most of the examinations still is handwritten.  According to the British national curriculum, children should start making diagonal strokes by the end of Year 2 so that they can move towards joined-up handwriting. It is a vital skill that children need to learn so that they can produce legible handwriting.

If done correctly, cursive writing holds plenty of benefits. Research has shown that children who learn cursive writing perform better in their reading and writing skills. Handwriting also improves memory. When a child writes something by hand it makes unique pathways in their brain that help them to remember the content for a longer period of time than those who type it.
