Your iPad and stylus are now your tools for teaching handwriting.
All seven of the popular Getty-Dubay® Italic Handwriting Series books are now available in one app as ebooks that you can write in. Now available on the App Store and Google Play.
The Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series Books A – G are the popular workbooks for students age 5 and up.
Use the instructional pages over and over by tracing and copying, then digitally erasing as needed. Practice to your heart’s content!
The app content takes you step-by-step through the print alphabet (basic italic) and numbers, then goes on to join these letters for flowing, legible cursive italic writing. Students can start with the book at their age level — they don’t need to complete the previous book to begin learning the italic style.
The apps are simple to use. Try before you buy with a free download of the app and sample books. Subscribe to the Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series ebooks using the in-app bookstore. Turn pages, scroll, navigate and create bookmarks in the same way you would with an ebook.
The fun comes when students touch their stylus to the screen. Now they can select the color, width and opacity of the pen line. They trace and copy the handwriting models, reading the instructions and tips as they go. Then, they can erase their work and practice more by selecting the eraser icon to change the stylus function to erase mode, or by erasing the writing on the entire page at once. There are extra practice sheets at the end of the book, too. Students can document and share their work via the tablet native screenshot function.
These apps replace the need for the paperback workbook, which means you’re saving paper and the resources that would have gone into producing and shipping the product.
