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.

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).

My son is eleven and has horrible penmenship. should I start at the beginning with book a?
BEST ANSWER: Personally, I would not. Book A is a little too easy even for my 7 year old (boy). I would start with B for an eleven year old. You're still doing print at that point so you can work on the mechanics of each letter. In Book C you begin to introduce cursive in the second half of the book, so if you don't think he's ready for that and you just want to just work on print, I'd start with Book B.

Great for a typical kindergartener
Getty-Dubay Italic has been amazingly effective for my 5-yo son. He seems to be just about average/typical in terms of his fine motor skills development and willingness/eagerness to learn to write.
I wanted to choose a penmanship program that produced nice handwriting and that made no bigger deal than it was worth... Some programs that are popular seemed to be overly remedial and overly thorough for my son's needs. Why present a bigger handwriting program to kids when all we want is a nice handwriting? No manipulatives to mess with, just a series of simple black and white workbooks. Understated, yet working like a charm.
Highly recommended for someone like my son - no special ability either directions, just your typical child who can use a better handwriting...which is most kids, really. One added bonus is that my handwriting has improved, too, because I now write diction sentences in Getty-Dubay italic font.
