Required Instruction in Cursive Writing

Summary

The bill adds a new mandate that teachers in Florida public schools provide cursive writing instruction to students in grades 2 through 5, covering letter formation, spacing, and writing words and sentences. By the end of 5th grade each student must be evaluated and shown to be proficient in both uppercase and lowercase cursive as defined by the bill. The goal is to make cursive a standard part of the elementary curriculum and link it to overall literacy development.
