Good handwriting is a valuable, lifelong skill. It is a courtesy to the person who reads it and a source of pride for the writer.



ADVANTAGES OF ITALIC

  • Italic is a distinctive and beautiful style.
  • It is a pleasure to read.
  • It is uncomplicated and simple to learn.
  • It can be written rapidly without loss of legibility.
  • It is ideally suited to meet the needs of today's elementary curriculum. It doesn't require a lot of tedious drills. Italic is relatively simple for students to learn and, consequently, simple for teachers to teach.
  • Students really enjoy Italic.
  • This approach enables the student to acquire both printing skills as well as cursive writing skills - something that is overlooked in many other curricula.
  • The learning sequence is logical and simple. Nothing is ever discarded (as with the "ball and stick" manuscript taught in many schools).
  • Success in Italic handwriting encourages students to be conscientious in their other school work.
