Book Description

0876780958 978-0876780954 November 1994 3
This is the fourth of a seven book series (K-6th grade) providing instruction in basic italic handwriting. We recommend Book D for third grade or advanced second grade.

This book begins with a thorough review of basic italic, then presents the cursive joins in sequence. After all the joins are learned the cursive capitals are shown. Writing practice includes first names, vowel sounds, consonant sounds, phonograms, prefixes, suffixes, homophones, homographs, ampersands, and punctuation. Sentence content includes poem forms such as couplet, haiku, acrostic, cinquian, limerick, formula poem, and tongue twisters. Cursive capital practice includes origins of our alphabet. Application form, letter writing, and envelope making are presented.

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 Excellent Series, February 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book D (Paperback)
The italics handwriting is hands down the best handwriting series. It is easy to learn and very beautiful. Even my left handed 5th grader son has beautiful handwriting in both cursive and print. I am a homeschooling mom and I wouldn't consider any other program!

5.0 out of 5 stars Legibility PLEASE!, February 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book D (Paperback)
I hate cursive. It makes my brain HURT!

My just turned 11yo daughter has beautiful penmanship that is LEGIBLE! She continues getting more and more efficient with her handwriting. I see her breazing through speed-of-light college lectures and her classmates wondering how she does it without catching the paper on fire! Of course, by then she'll probably be typing her notes which she's currently working on. I recommend Sponge Bob!

If you love your child, you'll choose this for them and all the people that read their handwriting will thank you for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth Transition to Writing, January 29, 2009
This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book D (Paperback)
My last two of seven children have used this program... they have nicer handwriting than the other five.
The repetition is necessary and very helpful. Moving into italic writing versus printing is very easy and smooth with this program. Nine years old seems like a good time to use this book.

Another great plus to this program is that with just a very little guidance and oversight, the student can easily go through this book on his own.
