“To all of you who have been waiting for a purely Charlotte Mason handwriting program, you can rejoice; it has finally arrived!” --Merri Larson, TX “I thought you might like to know that we have found your italic book [the 2nd edition e-book version] to be really useful. It is the best of its kind that I have seen and I have been looking for some time! I love the way we can print out the page again should it go wrong! and I can give them a page at a time so they don't feel overfaced with seeing how much there is to go. They are making real progress. So thank you very much for doing it. I will certainly recommend it to others.” --Lindsay, UK "I
have been using your Italic Handwriting book with my 12 year-old, who's handwriting is truly illegible. She is doing very well. We have tried MANY programs including the Getty/Dubay Italic." --Sheila Carroll,
Worldwide Educational Resources, www.educationinabox.com “I have used your book for my three oldest children and was amazed how quickly and beautifully they wrote by your example. I honestly
have to say to see them sit down with your book and just immediately start writing so beautifully was wonderful. And I loved the flow of which letters you started with and the order...it was perfect!” -- |
