We have used this book with our children, as part of our home teaching. They have easily worked through it and it takes only a few minutes each day with very little aid needed. I recommend it over ball and stick!!

I have been using the Italic series for the last four years in our homeschooling. My oldest daughter has used through book D and her handwriting is so neat and nice. My son is on Book C and my youngest daughter just finished book A. I love how easy it is for children to learn how to write neatly and nicely with this program. The cursive is beautiful and easy to learn. The children do not have to relearn letters to write cursive. This is the only handwriting course I will use for my 3 children. Oh and did I mention they love handwriting:)

My daughter's italic penmanship is beautiful after using this series (finished book D). Her printing is another story, but she finds the italic more efficient. Isn't that the whole purpose?! My goal was efficient legible handwriting that will help her get through speed-of-light college lectures. She started this at age 8.5 and just turned 11.

My 8 yo son is still learning. I used this last year and chose to repeat it again this year, although we're doing 2 pages at a time now. Physiologically he just wasn't developed enough, but I'm definitely seeing progress. The only 2 complaints I have is lower case 'e' and 's'. He struggled with 'e' until I decided to have him start with a straight line out and then around. Their "e" is just too swirly (if that's a word) without enough guidance. Then there is 's'. Is there any GOOD way of teaching 's'?! I mean, is it just a curvey version of a 5 or what?

I wish I had been taught this!
