Italic Handwriting Series Book E

This is the fifth of a series of seven books (K-6th grade) providing instruction in italic handwriting. We recommend Book E for fourth grade.

This book provides further practice with cursive capitals and lowercase joins. For the student new to italic handwriting an introduction to basic italic is provided, as well as an overview of the cursive joins.

Writing practice includes vowel sounds, consonant sounds, phonograms, prefixes, suffixes, and other letter combinations. Sentence content includes the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, the mineral kingdom, vegetation zones/biomes, our solar system, and galaxies. Cursive capital practice includes origins of our alphabet and cities of the world. Application form, letter/booklet format, and envelope making are presented.

The books were designed so that a child may begin anywhere in the series, even though they have never before learned italic.

Each book begins with a comprehensive review for that particular level. For example if a child is in the 4th grade, and can write at that grade level, they can begin with Book E without having to work through any of the previous books, adding to the versatility and cost-effectiveness of this series.
