The Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series makes a smooth transition from print to cursive; the manuscript just flows into cursive. Formation of the letters doesn’t change; they just join. Books introduce letter formation by letter families.
Book A introduces lowercase letters and then uppercase. Book B practices fun words and sentences. From Book C on, all books begin with letter review organized by letter families. Book C moves children to cursive, teaching the entrance and exit strokes needed to form cursive, with the first five joins. Students practice days, months, and modes of travel (automobile through zeppelin). Book D starts the all-cursive practice in the levels. Practice tongue twisters and other verbal wordplay. Book E works with science-related themes and Book F combines Greek and Latin roots and special words. Book G introduces calligraphy toward the end. Easy to write and read!
Use it alongside the Handwriting series or as a stand-alone program. Books include instruction for writing with edged pens, italic calligraphy, and the history of the art form. Pages follow a progression: students practice strokes, lowercase letter families, formal capital letters, then copy Hindu-Arabic numerals, poems, quotes, Greek & Latin root words, and 50 most used English words.
