Product Description:

Publisher Description:

Who wouldn't enjoy writing that includes tongue twisters and limericks? Packed with down-to- earth lessons, it's easy to see why kids truly enjoy italic. Contains joins, vowel and consonant sounds, prefixes and suffixes. Cursive capitals are introduced with historical development of each letter. Illustrated. Letter height 6 & 5 mm.

Category Description for Italic Handwriting (Getty-Dubay):

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.

Excellent books for learning nice neat handwriting in a way that makes more sense in the number of strokes you use and how the letters connect!

I used this curriculum growing up. It was simple and fun. The transition from print to cursive was logical and flowed well. There are no extraneous loops or swirls. I have had many compliments over the years on the legibility of my writing, even when I am writing fast and sloppily (for me).
Stephanie J on Aug 8, 2020
This handwriting curriculum has been our absolute favorite! The girls handwriting is so neat and beautiful. We highly recommend!

My son, who has beautiful penmanship, wants the challenge of italic cursive.
User on Jun 13, 2020
This is the handrwriting program I use with all my kids!
Melanie M on May 12, 2020
Going to try my upper elementary son on this handwriting curriculum. Cursive never stuck with his older brothers and so maybe we'll just do this instead of having to do remedial work later!
Elizabeth L on Apr 27, 2020
We love Getty Dubay and have used all their books for all my kids.

Has worked for all our children and is simple to do - one page or half a page a day.
Marina S on Sep 1, 2019
I have used italic handwriting in the past. My daughter could use improvement in her handwriting and I thought it would be good practice for me as well. Something to do together over the summer :)

I like these workbooks for my children
Hanni G on May 26, 2018
We have been creating our own italic handwriting worksheets, but it is getting tiring to think of things.
Susan E on Apr 30, 2018
The style seems to flow better and makes the function of writing simpler for some students. Also, the transition from manuscript to cursive is far easier.
Karen B on Mar 6, 2018
It's a beautiful handwriting curriculum and my children's penmanship has improved immensely. It's easy and stress-free!
AILEEN P on Feb 23, 2018
I am teaching my children "Cursive" first, and need to show my 1st grader the letter joins.
Ruthanne H on Dec 30, 2017
My son never learned cursive due to his dysgraphia. I am hoping he is now old enough to learn and have heard good things about this program.
Amy B on Nov 26, 2017
This series is a staple for handwriting in my home.
Katrea C on Sep 30, 2017
A great basic writing program that moves smoothly into simple cursive. Just what my sons need.

Rebecca G on Aug 19, 2017
It took a few years and a few kids to convince me of the logic of italic handwriting, but I can see the difference in the quality of penmanship between the kids taught with this program and those without. I have even changed my own handwriting as a result.

Used with my homeschooled kids, and now teaching a co-op language arts class. Kids like it, and it works! Also, Rainbow has the best prices... :)

Great for our reluctant fifth grader
Preferring to be outside playing, our fifth grader's handwriting had really got sloppy so I decided this year we needed to focus on it again! He does not enjoy writing so I have found this book to not be too heavy for him and he is quite eager to do a couple lines each day. Hoping that by the end his penmanship will be much improved!
