“Cursive is making a comeback in California schools. In October 2023, the California Legislature unanimously passed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed, a law requiring handwriting instruction in cursive or “joined italics” for grades 1-6. It hasn’t been a requirement since 2010, when it was left out of the Common Core National Education Standards. The new “cursive law” took effect on Jan. 1 and calls for all elementary schools in the state to implement cursive instruction in their classrooms.” — EdCal (July 22, 2024)
