Muggie Maggie
Maggie Schultz is in third grade and is not thrilled about learning how to write cursive. She resists learning by refusing to write her letter properly. Despite the efforts of her parents, teacher, and principal she continues to hold out until she realizes the benefits of being able to read cursive. Her teacher starts using Maggie as a messenger. Maggie has to take notes written in cursive to others around the school and she is unable to read the messages. After experiencing this frustration, Maggie teaches herself the cursive alphabet and is able to finally read the notes.
