Zaner-Bloser (teaching script)

<p>The Zaner-Bloser (also Zaner-Bloser Method) is a <a href="/facts/Teaching_script/MmokXkgb">teaching script</a> for <a href="/facts/Handwriting/S9W0DHlo">handwriting</a> based on <a href="/facts/Latin_script/7EWeJjUV">Latin script</a> as well as a system of <a href="/facts/Penmanship/q3pgv33e">penmanship</a> instruction, which originated around 1904 at the Zanerian College of Penmanship in <a href="/facts/Columbus%2c_Ohio/mREa53Ub">Columbus, Ohio</a>. <a href="/facts/Charles_Paxton_Zaner/fSlYvfgP">Charles P. Zaner</a> (1864–1918) and Elmer W. Bloser (1865–1929), originally a <a href="/facts/Spencerian_Method/J2Pknpry">Spencerian Method</a> instructor, developed their teaching script with the aim of allowing learners an easier transition from <a href="/facts/Print_writing/ScxAIEj8">print writing</a> to <a href="/facts/Cursive/sbW2bKYq">cursive</a>. The Zaner-Bloser Method  first teaches <a href="/facts/Block_letter/ScxAIEj8">block letters</a> and then cursive in order to enable written expression as quickly as possible and thus develop the ability to write. Material relating to the method of instruction practiced by Zaner and Bloser is still being published by the <a href="/facts/Zaner-Bloser_(company)/TbKREGEN">Zaner-Bloser Company</a>, a subsidiary of <a href="/facts/Highlights_for_Children/4zS6JKV5">Highlights for Children</a>.
