Description
This is a complete set of the whole Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting series including the Instructor's Manual and two desk strips (one manuscript and one cursive).
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.

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.
