Write Legibly!
Use the program preferred by homeschoolers because it makes sense!

The Getty-Dubay™ Italic Handwriting Program for Children

Italic Handwriting Series

Kindergarten - 6th Grade
By Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay


What makes this program so different from other handwriting styles?

  • It's legible because it's loop-free.
  • The smooth transition from print to cursive - there is no need to learn two different alphabets click here (Adobe Acrobat PDF).
  • It is effective because it's easy to teach and easy to learn, using a Look, Plan, Practice model.
  • It is a quality program at a reasonable price.

Give your children the gift of legible handwriting!
We call it The Natural Way to Write because customers often tell us, as children, when they were no longer required to write using a specific method, they came up with their own style of handwriting, and it is often remarkably similar to italic.

This program is also available in one volume for adults. For more info, click here. For more information on this and other italic books and materials please click here.

We offer a free handwriting workshop at Portland State University taught by the authors every year in January.
