Book Description

087678094X 978-0876780947 3
This is the third of a seven book series (K-6th grade) providing instruction in basic italic handwriting. Book C is designed for the early reader and is especially recommended for grade two, however it is also suitable for the latter part of grade one or early grade three.

Every page has models to trace, letters, words, and/or sentences to write in the spaces provided. On some pages, the writer completes a given line by writing a "best" letter in the empty box, showcasing the child’s best work.

In addition to a review of the basic italic, an introduction to cursive italic is presented to assist the child in learning the fundamentals of the cursive hand.

The books were designed so that a child may begin anywhere in the series, even though they have never before learned italic. Each book begins with a comprehensive review for that particular level. For example if a child is in the 4th grade, and can write at that grade level, they can begin with Book E without having to work through any of the previous books, adding to the versatility and cost-effectiveness of this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Italic Handwriting Book C by Getty & Dubay, March 30, 2000
This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book C (Paperback)
We have been using this series for years. My son has a lot of trouble writing, and it is very handy to have the arrows and dots to guide him on the direction and placing of his pencil. Both of my kids seem to enjoy it. The one with trouble wit handwriting is repeating Book C and it's coming along well (it is the last book before you really get into cursive. My other son is sailing with book E now and has a beautiful handwriting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great handwriting tool, August 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Getty Dubay Series has been wonderful! The lessons are short and this book is a great transition from printing to cursive writing for my second grader. Also just bought Book A for my Kindergarten student and she is doing great with it too. This came highly recommended to me from a long time homeschooler and I am glad that we decided to use it.
