Jaidyn Watson, a student at St. Mary’s School in Pompton Lakes, earned a spot as a State Grade-Level Winner for schools in the 2017 Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest. Celebrating 26 years, the Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest encourages legible handwriting by evaluating the handwriting abilities (based on the Zaner-Bloser Keys to Legibility: size, shape, spacing and slant) of students in kindergarten through eighth grade whose schools use Zaner-Bloser Handwriting curricula. After each participating school held its own handwriting contest, one winning student from each grade was then entered in the Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest to compete to become a State Grade-Level Winner. State-level winners then compete at the national level in hopes of being selected a Grand National Grade-Level Champion or a National Grade-Level Semifinalist. Zaner-Bloser awarded a medallion to Jaidyn Watson, an etched diamond award to Jaidyn’s teacher and a $200 Zaner-Bloser gift certificate to St. Mary’s School. “Research on handwriting shows evidence that it strengthens a student’s overall literacy skills and fine motor skills in the early years,” said Lesa Scott, president of Zaner-Bloser. “We’re very pleased to see so many students and educators dedicate themselves to developing the handwriting skills that set up a solid foundation of academic success.”
