The Ontario government said cursive writing and typing will be making a comeback in schools this fall.

“This really is a massive overhaul that aligns with the evidence, is supported by the broader science and by organizations like Dyslexia Canada, who have been clear this approach — invoking phonics, the return to cursive — is going to help build that foundational knowledge and skills and literacy,” said Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce in a Thursday interview with the Toronto Star.

Students will learn how to write in cursive beginning in Grade 3 after almost a generation of students did not have to — much to the displeasure of parents who said their children should at least know how to sign their names.
