That's really awesome cursive!!! I totally get how wonderful it is to see too!

Our dysgraphic ds also has found cursive to be "easier" and his cursive is much more legible than his print - so legible in fact that it was one of the best-looking cursive scripts in his 4th grade class when the kids first learned cursive. It actually made things *more* difficult for him in school for awhile - and for me. His teachers saw that he could write in cursive, and they tried to use that to argue that he wasn't dysgraphic "anymore" and didn't need his keyboarding and other software accommodations. The thing is, no matter how great his cursive looked on paper, his speed is so extremely slow that it will never be functional for him, and he is still bogged down by the act of handwriting filling up his working memory which means in turn the content of what he writes is very limited compared to other means of expression. The other thing that happened with our ds is that as great as his cursive looked in 4th grade, it didn't improve and several years later still looks the same, while at the same time his classmates' cursive (and printing) continues to look better and better. So ds' cursive looked "normal" in 4th grade but no longer looks "normal" for his grade level.
