Italic Handwriting Book A Kindergarten (Basic)

By Getty and Dubay

This is the first of seven books in the Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting series. Book A Kindergarten provides instruction in italic handwriting and is designed for the beginning student of handwriting and is recommended for preschool, kindergarten, and/or early first grade.

Each of the twenty-six lowercase letters and the twenty-six capitals are introduced with one letter per page. Letters are arranged in the order of lowercase families, which group letters with similar strokes together and progress from simple to more complex forms.

Each page in Italic Handwriting Book A is designed for the student to trace the models, write letters at the given dots and in the blank spaces, and to write a "best" letter in the empty box on each alphabet page.

The lines are quite large in this book so if your child tends to write smaller, you might want to start with Book B.
