Italic Handwriting Series Book F

This is the sixth of a seven book series (K-6th grade) providing instruction in basic italic handwriting. We recommend Book F for fifth 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 word origins, word groups and word entertainment. Cursive capital practice includes origins of our alphabet, and names of Native American tribes, nations, and communities. Spiral writing, pop-up card design, and envelope making are also 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.
