'''Getty-Dubay''' is a modern version of Italic script developed in 1976 by [[Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay]] and published by [[Portland State University]] to ease the transition to cursive. Other than strokes to join the letters, only the lower-case letter 'k' and a few upper-case letters are formed differently. Reportedly, about 1/3 of USA homeschoolers (and about 7% of USA schoolchildren generally) now learn Getty-Dubay rather than conventional manuscript-then-cursive handwriting styles. Additional modern Italic handwriting curricula used in the USA, and similar to Getty-Dubay in many respects, include [[Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting.]]
