Agreed 100%. The stroke order is of utmost importance. If you don't know it, you won't be able to read anything handwritten as almost no one writes in complete blocks. When we write several strokes in one, only your knowledge of the stroke order guides you to read it.

Likewise, knowing the stroke order in turn enables you to write a few strokes in one as well, which is a huge time-saver.
