Cursive Handwriting to be Required in NJ Public School Curriculum
State Senator Angela McKnight (D) LD-31 has introduced S1783, "Requires instruction on cursive handwriting in public school curriculum." 

 

The Center for Garden State Families urges support and passage of this bill. 

This bill requires a school district to incorporate instruction on cursive handwriting into the curriculum for students in elementary schools.  The curriculum will include activities and instructional materials that help students become proficient in reading cursive and writing in cursive legibly by the end of the third grade.

     Some research suggests that learning to read and write in cursive benefits the development of cognitive, motor, and literacy skills.  In addition, instruction in cursive handwriting has been associated with improved academic outcomes for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia.
