nansk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Getty-Dubay Italics. It is a clean, beautiful script, easy to teach and easy to learn. The transition from print to cursive doesn't involve a re-learning of the letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in OK Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Depending on the child and what we need to work on, I go back and forth between HWT and Getty/Dubay. For starting to write I love HWT. I also prefer their cursive. It just seems more natural to me. If my kids need practice with neatness, we do Getty/Dubay. If we do that, I usually switch back to HWT when it comes to cursive. So far they haven't had issues doing one then the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma H Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have not used this yet but it looks REALLY good! http://www.startwrite.com/ataglance.php It is not super cheap but when you have handwriting troubles, I think it is worth it. Check it out. The more I look at it the more I am convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytwomonkeys Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 well, we've only used HWT - so i can't compare to other programs. however, it was so easy & effective, we'll use it with my son for sure. my daughter flew through the book in a matter of weeks and her cursive is beautiful now. truly an effortless program imho.

Alicia64 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm interested in the Getty Dubay Italics. They have an interesting concept of not teaching the loopy handwriting. But, I can't tell which book I should order for my seven year old son. Both can print just fine. They don't printing instruction. I'd just like to move them onto learning cursive. And I need a curriculum. I seem to let things fall by the wayside if I don't have a curriculum. Thanks for the help! Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book C starts with beginning cursive. You can preview the books on Amazon for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 FWIW, my dd9 recently started this cursive book for left-handed students and likes it so far: http://www.amazon.com/Cursive-Writing-Skills-Left-Handed-Students/dp/083882563X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294285402&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
