Category Description for Getty-Dubay 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.

Fits my 6 yo level of development
I really like this handwriting book. I used it for my oldest daughter and am using it now for my second child. She is pretty particular about how long she can sit and do handwriting. The Getty Dubay allows her to practice with a small number of letters to copy, and a small sentence. There is little frustration and she finishes the page before her attention span is over or her hand gets tired.
We are very happy with it.

Great handwriting product
This series has just enough work to be challenging, but not enough to overwhelm my reluctant writers. I like the simplicity of the style of handwriting; it is easy to learn.

We have used this series for a few years now It is the only handwriting style I have ever taught my girls The writing is beautiful and it is such a natural way to write They really enjoy their books and there is pretty much no prep work for me When we do our copywork I have the girls use their books as references if they get stuck on how to correctly write a certain letter

Why did you choose this?
How many lessons are contained in this book? Is it for a full school year or only a semester?
For us it is a full year. Books A and B contain one page for the upper and one for the lower case alphabet plus a few additional number pages etc. so that comes out to 26-28 lessons. We complete one letter a week. Starting with book C, the first 41 pages are a review of Italic printing and teach the student how to write everything smaller. The last 20 pages begin introducing Italic cursive so we take it much more slowly. There are 61 pages of work plus blank templates you can reproduce for practicing. We have handwriting 4 days a week. With holidays and other times we are off, one book serves us well for a year.
Italics is so pretty. I thought my daughter would enjoy learning this over basic manuscript.
I like the course and needed a workbook
