Where can I get the double lined notebook so I can practice?

[gcscils598f08]

[gcscils598f08]

@okpapereat sorry, not sure. got it from AudioSwap library (I originally had Alanis Morissette's "Forgiven").

Would you be able to give us some tips on improving handwriting. I see a few letters which aren't written the conventional way. Or at least elaborate a bit here please.

[gcscils598f08]

Practice with lined paper to make your letters uniformly sized! Which letters are unconventional?

You got fancy-looking B P and R, I gotta practice this! They look neat. I googled Palmer's method and what came up had different B. Yours looks a little bit trickier but I like it more.

I know how to do this. Plus I'm ambidextrous. I did that on one year.

Learning the Palmer method is the only practical thing I got out of Catholic School. In 4th grade in 1978 we received a Palmer book that looked to be from the 50s (ours was not a well-funded school). I wish I could find it on Amazon. I bet I'd recognize it. I still use the "final t". It goes up in an arc and ends to the right and is not crossed. I used to be fascinated by the "final r", which I saw in this book and nowhere else. It was a single n hump that continued up and went out with a tail.

@gcscils598f08 The "F", "B" and "r" seem different to the conventional Palmer method which I've seen in old books. But maybe that's just the way you were taught, and there are numerous ways of writing cursive.

@dtopp313 If you ever venture into posting videos,I would love to see writing in the original method. When I learned cursive we were taught to slant the paper to the left. This created the effect of making the letters appear the lean forward. It made it very pleasant to read.

Beautiful handwriting!

The only thing I saw that was wrong in the video was the camera shaking. You should buy a tripod and use it. :)

@dtopp313 mind giving me a palmer pen? i really need to improve my handwriting

[dtopp313]

D'Nealian handwriting started in the 80's and has caused so many to have terrible penmanship. Sloppy and very hard to read.  It was sold as an easy way to teach cursive handwriting. Just add curly cues and swiggles to Manuscript writing. Resulted in the poor handwriting we have now.

[dtopp313]

This is not the correct Palmer Method in the video and is a copy of the program. Palmer Method was based on slant not writing straight up and down. I was a Palmer Consultant for 20 yrs.

I also have about 10 boxes of Palmer Pens which I have in storage. They have the grip for holding the pens correctly
