The Palmer Method of penmanship instruction was developed and promoted by Austin Palmer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was intended to simplify the earlier "Spencerian method", which had been the main handwriting learning method since the 1840s.[1] The Palmer Method soon became the most popular handwriting system in the United States.[2]
Under the method, students were taught to adopt a uniform system of cursive writing with rhythmic motions.
