Requires public schools to include instruction on cursive handwriting.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to teach cursive handwriting and reading to students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Specifically, schools must provide age-appropriate instruction ensuring students can read and write cursive by the end of third grade. The law applies to all public school districts and takes effect immediately for the next full school year after enactment. It directly affects K-5 students and their educators by mandating cursive as part of the curriculum, without specifying additional funding or resources.
