Bigger Hearts for His Glory - Handwriting
Italic: Book D
by Inga Dubay and Barbara Getty
ISBN 0876780958
$8.75
[Add to Cart]
 This book is recommended for third
grade or advanced second graders ready to begin cursive writing. It reviews
basic italic and covers the total cursive program. Includes prefixes, suffixes,
capitalization, and playful poems.
Italic is a modern handwriting system based on eduring letterforms that are
highly suited to rapid and legible writing. Italic conforms to natural rhythmic
hand movements. Italic builds on previously learned concepts and the letter
shapes remain the same from basic to cursive, eliminating the abrupt leap from
"ball and stick" to looped cursive. Self-assessment is an integral part of the
program.
NOTE: For teaching cursive,
choose either Italic: Book D, Cheerful Cursive, or your own handwriting
program. If your student is not ready for cursive writing, follow the
copywork assignments provided with the poetry in Bigger Hearts for His Glory
to practice manuscript writing.$8.75

Cheerful Cursive

ISBN 0-929223-18-7

Cheerful Cursive was
written for students whose fine motor skills allow a continuous
flowing movement from letter to letter. Motor skill development
varies among students, but is usually adequate by 2nd-3rd grade.
Developed after hundreds of requests for an enjoyable approach to
cursive writing, this handwriting program is unique in its approach.
Learning cursive letter
formation is only half the battle - you also must learn to read it.
And because everyone writes differently, you must practice reading
many variations. This dual emphasis on writing and reading makes
Cheerful Cursive a truly unique product.
Cheerful Cursive incorporates these special techniques and
skills:
* tracing the full letter to get a better "feel" for the formation (not
connecting dots)
* placement of each letter in the alphabet
* showing what the manuscript and the cursive letter have in common
* using 5 main connecting strokes (the student's Stroke Friends) to make
all of the letters
* helpful reminders for correct letter formation
* teaching the shortcut most adults use in writing words that begin with a
circular letter
* moving from larger to smaller lines (over 1 inch down to wide rules
spaces)
* phasing out the middle dotted line that is not printed on typical
notebook paper
* showing how each capital letter connects to the next lower case vowel or
consonant
* in-depth alphabetizing for dictionary and telephone book practice
* Bible verses and saying about Jesus
* showing other capital letter variations
* matching capitals to lower case
* transcribing from manuscript to cursive and cursive to manuscript
* introductory grammar - nouns, pronouns, verbs, complete subjects and verbs, and the understood "you concept"
NOTE: For teaching cursive, choose either Italic: Book D, Cheerful
Cursive, or your own handwriting program. If your student
is not ready for cursive writing, follow the copywork assignments
provided with the poetry in Bigger Hearts for His Glory to
practice manuscipt writing.
