Thank you for putting this together! As someone who is looking at potentially switching to Zaner Bloser, this was super helpful and informative! 🥰

Maybe it’s because I’m old??…but I write much more like Zaner Bloser (continuous stroke). I was public schooled. The first hand writing I used with my kids was ball and stick and it caused a lot of frustration. We much prefer continuous stroke. We are going with either Zaner Bloser or D’Nealian this coming year. I really like the D’Nealian font.

@AaWa-dp4oq Now I'm curious! What program was ball and stick?

@@EclecticHomeschoolShelf it was called “Pen Time”. I got it from Rainbow Resources. I saw it recommended on YT because it was very inexpensive.
