Italic Handwriting: The Instruction Manual

By Barbara Getty / Portland State University


This instruction manual accompanies The Italic Handwriting Series. Explaining each stage of the handwriting process step-by-step, this thorough guide covers processes such as pencil holding, assessment, the importance of legibility, comparisons to other handwriting styles, and other aspects of handwriting. Instructions on how to correctly write each lower and uppercase letter in both basic and cursive italics--including spacing, slope, objectives, evaluation and an activity--are also included. Samples, guidelines, crafts, a letter-by-letter study of the development of the alphabet and more make this a uniquely holistic handwriting program. 108 pages, softcover, spiral bound.
