Publisher's Description of Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series Book C Fourth Edition
The transition book. Practice lessons devoted to the acquisition of basic italic using days & months, and modes of travel (automobile through zeppelin). The last section of the book contains entrance and exit strokes, which are needed to form cursive italic, and the first five joins. Includes numerals. Illustrated. Letter height 9 & 6 mm.
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.
