Italic Handwriting Free ChartDid you ever wonder what we are talking about when you see the different styles of handwriting. Here is a link for homeschoolers and / or anyone interested in seeing the visual style of the various handwriting that is taught all over the world.

Draw Your World has sample sheets in the form of smaller images showing all the letters for all the forms of writing. From Getty-Dubay, D'Nealian Style, Palmer Handwriting Italic and Cursive,  Handwriting Without Tears, Zaner-Bloser Style. I am sure if anyone wants a small reference card these can be easily printed out. (I have not tried but looks like they should be large enough for reference) – These samples were printed out from the Starwrite Handwriting Software – Which if you want to try it out lets you try it unhindered for one time only. (So, make sure you get the most use from the first time you run it. Even Print it out to a PDF) From what I saw if you were homeschooling I would recommend trying this out and purchase if you like how it works, By the Way the program is only $39 at Starwrite Handwriting or $35 at Draw Your World.

But if you are just looking for a few FREE graphics to print out check out Studio Arts Guide to Italic Handwriting. (Click on the image on the left column to display it on the right – At that point if you are using Firefox (Highly Recommended) or IE you can right click on the image and hit the save as to save the images to your hard drive and print out later on) They have a nice chart, font families, guide, practice sheets and more for your use.

You can also check out dnealian.com for some addtional samples and primer on the D'Nealian Style of handwriting – Very Similar to the Getty-Dubay Style.

Hey Merlin!

Nice stuff! It’s nice to see the styles compared side by side like this. From what I’ve gathered, it appears that it’s legal to distribute writing letter forms. The exercises themselves I believe may not legal to distribute. There’s a thread on FPN for the “Architect Style” of writing, in which I uploaded a letter form sheet. There was a description of what was legal and what was not in this thread. I’d have to go back there to check. If true, this is great news, as I was always having trouble finding letter form sheets when I first started revamping my handwriting.

Great post!! Have a great week!
