A state lawmaker says a bill she’s sponsored designed to bring back cursive writing in Kentucky public schools will likely be taken up by the Senate Education Committee next week. Republican Senator Lindsey Tichenor represents Oldham, Trimble and part of Jefferson County. She said some children are graduating high school without the ability to sign their name in cursive.
“The more that I researched, the more I'm realizing the impact on reading on memorization on just what goes on in the brain when you're writing in cursive and how it really does open up your ability to retain information and learn.”
