families wanting one legible alphabet to evolve smoothly from print into cursive
Getty-Dubay italic handwriting curriculum
Handwriting Success
The Getty-Dubay series teaches a legible italic print that transitions into joined cursive without requiring children to relearn radically different letterforms. Seven slim grade-level workbooks, an instruction manual, charts, fonts, Spanish materials, and an app support practice; it is elegant and efficient, though the distinctive slanted style may conflict with an occupational therapist's preferred method.

Quality
Who it suits—and the catch
Multi-generation homeschool users praise the clean, logical print-to-cursive transition and the ability to create matching custom worksheets. The main fit issue is philosophical: families wanting conventional looped cursive or working under a therapist's specific motor plan may prefer another program.
- unconventional italic style
- one consumable book per child
- repetitive practice still required
- may conflict with OT recommendations
