Getty-Dubay 4444927 189726793 2008-02-07T13:46:54Z 163.247.70.75 category '''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.]] ==External links== * [http://www.handwritingsuccess.com/ Barbara Getty's and Inga Dubay's handwriting course for doctors and other professionals] * [http://www.cep.pdx.edu/titles/italic_series/ Getty-Dubay books and materials at Portland State] * [http://www.BFHhandwriting.com/ Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting materials and information] {{Typ-stub}} [[Category:Penmanship]]
