Synopsis

The Instruction Manual was designed for use with the Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series Books A-G (K-6th grade).

Spiral-bound for ease of use, this expanded guide contains detailed instruction for teachers, and is an indispensable tool in a school setting as well as for homeschoolers seeking a helpful resource for teaching the program to their children.

It contains helpful hints on teaching italic, with sections covering assessment strategies, implementation, creative student activities, and supplements. There is also information on adaptations to special needs. In the back of the book, there is a very useful section of blank pages with ruled lines depicting copyright-free examples of the line widths used throughout the series.
