✍️ Why Cursive Nomenclature Cards Matter

Montessori introduces cursive early because connected letters flow more naturally for young writers than print. These cursive nomenclature cards expose children to flowing handwriting through reading—not yet writing—so they recognize cursive letters before formal handwriting lessons begin. Use the print version first if your students are new to cursive. Once they're comfortable reading shape names in standard print, introduce this cursive set to build fluency with connected letters. The three-part card format remains the same; only the label font changes.
