Book Description

0876780982 978-0876780985 November 1994 3
This is the seventh of a seven book series (K-6th grade) providing instruction in italic handwriting. We recommend Book G for sixth grade and beyond (although older students might prefer our more comprehensive book for adults "Write Now").

This book provides further practice with cursive capitals and lowercase joins. For the student new to italic handwriting an introduction to basic italic is provided, as well as an overview of the cursive joins.

Writing practice follows a central theme - the history of our alphabet.

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.

This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book G (Paperback)
Finally! A book that ensures a beautiful, legible hand for anyone! No matter what style of penmanship you've used in the past, this flowing style will be a welcome addition for your reader. Beginning with a simple test, this book presents a simple, easy-to-learn, natural handwriting that requires little adaptation between manuscript and cursive. Clear instructions and ample practice patterns ensure that you will easily learn to write as neatly as you've always hoped you could. Lower case, upper case, and joining strokes for cursive are all taught with fascinating supplemental information on the history of alphabets and many excellent tips to help you achieve mastery. Great worktext!

This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book G (Paperback)
Appreciate the process of the shape of the manuscript letters lending themselves to an easier transition when learning the cursive letters. This program has stood the test of time and it worked for our family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Child friendly and legible!, February 8, 2010
This review is from: Italic Handwriting Series Book G (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.
