A new bill in the Florida capitol aims to prioritize cursive writing in schools in the state. Currently, students in grades three through five are required to learn cursive, but there is no requirement to prove comprehension or be tested on it. The proposed bill would change that by mandating that students in second through fifth grades learn cursive writing and pass an evaluation on writing, reading, and applying cursive by the end of fifth grade.
The bill recently passed a house committee unanimously and is now headed to the full house for consideration. The Senate version of the bill is still in committees. To stay updated on the latest news, follow WCTV on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
