The Palmer Method of Business Writing

The Palmer Method of Business Writing is a technique developed in the early 20th century to enhance handwriting speed and legibility. It emphasizes fluid, cursive writing with specific strokes and movements to create a consistent style. The foundation of the method relies on proper posture, grip, and the use of arm movements rather than just fingers to form letters. This approach not only improves the appearance of written documents but also allows for faster writing, making it valuable in business settings where clear communication is essential. The method has historical significance in the teaching of penmanship.
