Is anyone teaching with the Italic Handwriting Series by Getty & Dubay or another italic handwriting book? I would like to create copywork pages in italic. I found on the SCM website under the copywork section the copywork generator link passed along by Lori K. The link is wonderful only I need one for Italic handwriting. Does anyone know of a free or for purchase copywork generator similar to the Worksheet Works that offers italic?
Ok – here it is – btw – Italic handwriting is harder to create because the joins depend on what letter is being joined to what letter…. so it isn’t a straight font…
I’m teaching Italic and using StartWrite. It isn’t free. I think it was around $40 but I can totally customize copywork for each child, adjusting the size of the letters, writing with directional arrows, dashed lines, etc. I love it. I take maybe half an hour once a week and type up what I want them to write. Neither of them are ready to copy straight from a book or other source, so this is working very well.
Thank you all so much. Your quick responses are much appreciated and most helpful. I will explore these soon. I did find http://educationalfontware.com/ that offers many different fonts. This one must be purchased and I do not have any experience with it but am passing it along as information to you all.
I enjoyed exploring briem.net the italic project, Startwrite and handwritingworksheets.com. Thank you all for the information. My daughter and I really like italic handwriting. I do find that the briem.net is a great website for italic handwriting and user friendly so I will learn this site and/or use StartWrite which is great also. Thank you for letting me know what works for you all and thank you,suzukimom, for the detailed instructions for briem.net.
Your welcome. I know the software isn’t super easy – but once you’ve done it once or twice, it is. And it makes SUCH lovely italic handwriting (and a nice font for italic print that is as easy as any font.)
