theYoungerMrsWarde Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I had some confusion when I read TWTM a year ago and was deciding what to get for my then kindergartener for handwriting. It said Zaner-Bloser handwriting was "continuous stroke" but it didn't say that anywhere on the ZB website. I called and asked and the customer service person I talked to had no idea why WTM called it that. I almost didn't buy it because of that, but I finally decided to try it and I'm glad I did. Today I got to host a guest post by a representative of Zaner-Bloser who does know why TWTM calls it "continuous stroke" and talks a little bit about "continuous stroke" vs. "ball and stick." Check it out if you're interested. (I'm not being paid to host it.) I know other people on here have posted about this question and I thought I'd put this on here so people can search it when they need to.

ElizabethB Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I choose ZB because Don Potter said it was one of the few modern cursive fonts that could be written quickly and smoothly and continuously once learned well. I like using their self-education in handwriting book from the whiteboard when they are small before transitioning to writing on paper. Don is more old school and starts from a chalk board! Of course, we both use Webster from the 1800's... But, we both use macs and have websites!! Old school meets modern technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
