Palmer's style fell out of popularity and was replaced by a movement to teach children Manuscript before teaching them Cursive , in order to provide them with a means of written expression as soon as possible and thus develop writing skills. Students would switch to cursive later on. This effectively reduced the emphasis on handwriting in elementary school and is sometimes said to have been responsible for a decrease in the overall legibility of modern American handwriting. The style is now experiencing renewed attention, both from people interested in improving handwriting for themselves, and for those working with Facilitated Handwriting for the disabled. As the Palmer method has a focus on shoulder and arm movements, it is helpful for many with limited movement of the fingers. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
