Reviews

Betty Edwards, PhD
Author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

"Italic makes sense. It brings beauty and simiplicity to handwriitng. It is a joy that my sons can communicate legibly thanks to italic."
Kay Fujita
Teacher

"I am behind this handwriting 100%. Everyone can read it. It's easy to teach, and the results are beautiful, often elegant (even in the 3rd grade!) handwriting."
Val Hornburg
Teacher and winner of the Miriam Joseph Farrell Award for Distinguished Teaching

"We organized a K-12 Charter School here in Colorado, and adopted the [Getty-Dubay™] Italic Handwriting series.

My experience was that children who had the advantage of this instruction ended up with legible handwriting, improved eye/hand coordination and associated reduced reading impairment, and improved achievement scores in language skills and math.

I attribute these results to both the time made available for other academic pursuits rather than learning an entire new character set for cursive handwriting, as well as the visual and manual skills learned through methodical practice of regular left/right eye/hand motion resulting in a pleasing accomplishment for the student.

Thank you for the efforts you have taken to make this handwriting system available to us.

I wholeheartedly commend its adoption to all schools."
