Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series Instruction Manual Fouth Edition
Designed for use with Books A-G, this invaluable guide contains detailed instructions for teaching each letter and join. Contains numerous assessment strategies, creative student activities, plus techniques for increasing speed and developing style. Complete information needed to effectively teach italic handwriting.
Mom's horrible handwriting inspired us to use an italic handwriting program with our kids. It's difficult not to produce at least legible writing in Italics. Another plus is that manuscript flows into cursive - letters don't completely change, they just join. Not only does this seem sensible to us, but the many compliments the children have received on their handwriting have further encouraged us in this approach. (Children begin moving into cursive writing in Level C.) The last level gets into calligraphy toward the end. From there, follow up with a good calligraphy book for Jr. High/High School and continue handwriting as an art form! Instruction Manual applies to all levels.
I chose this handwriting series after trying many others over the years. I chose it based on the ease of instruction, the beauty of the letter formation, and the ease of transitioning into cursive later on.
Goes with the workbooks—just in case my son needs more direction.
I picked this series in order to do some remedial handwriting work with all my children. Rainbow has the best price! :)
I wanted to be better equipped to teach my children the Italic handwriting style. The workbooks are excellent, my daughter's writing looks very nice and she doesn't complain about handwriting any more.
