Other states, such as Indiana, have been trying to do the same thing for the past seven years.
(Columbus, Oh.) – Cursive writing curriculum could soon find its way back into Ohio schools.
The Ohio House passed House Bill 58 on Wednesday, which would require the State Department of Education to develop a new cursive writing curriculum by the end of the year, reports WLWT-TV.
Even if the bill is passed into law, language in the bill allows for each school to decide if they want to implement cursive writing into their curriculum.
Schools that choose to implement the cursive writing curriculum would likely offer handwriting classes to students in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Ohio joins Indiana on a list of states whom are trying to bring back cursive writing curriculum. This past April, an Indiana lawmaker’s attempt to reinstitute the cursive requirement failed for the seventh year in a row.
In Ohio, House Bill 58 is set to head to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
