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.
