description: This affordable collection of cursive handwriting workbooks is designed to teach cursive regardless of age or skill level. Whether you’re teaching elementary students cursive for the first time or hoping to improve your own penmanship, the Spencerian workbooks are the perfect tools to help you achieve your handwriting goals. Each booklet contains special binding which allows it to lay flat so that students can utilize the entirety of each page without the binding acting as a hindrance (as is often the case with many workbooks). Spencerian Penmanship teaches tried and true methods of handwriting dating as far back as the 18th century, a time when nearly every piece of handwritten work was exquisite. Due to the classic, artistic style of Spencerian Penmanship, many have even used this series to begin their study of calligraphy. Spencerian Penmanship is sure to turn any novice into an expert in just 9 easy lessons and offers dozens of practice pages to hone one’s skills. The five copybooks listed below form a complete course in cursive handwriting. Book 1: Introduces all short letters. Only four strokes―or principles, as Spencer called them―are needed to produce these letters. Book 2: Adds some tall letters (t and d) and numerals 1-9. Book 3: Completes the lower-case alphabet and introduces most capitals. Book 4: Completes the capital alphabet and practices full words. Book 5: Presents sentences and sayings for writing practice. Kind words can never die. Promise little and do much. The complete set also includes a theory book which explains how each letter can be made gracefully and rapidly using various combinations of a few basic pen strokes. It explains Spencer's philosophy of teaching principles that engage the mind as well as the hand. It also details his methods for teaching classes of children. Get your copy of Spencerian Penmanship today and begin rediscovering the classical art of handwriting.
