Hello I Am Looking To Learn Cursive Any Books To Help?

[Cerbervs]

I was never taught (or forgot) how to write cursive ,and was looking for some serious books to show me how. Is there any suggestions?

These were the result of a quick google search.

 

Zaner-Blosner, Palmer are two of the more common hands that were taught in schools in the US

Another book to consider is "Teach Yourself Better Handwriting" by Rosemary Sassoon.

I find EC Mills' Modern Business Penmanship an excellent resource. I have the PDF on my iPad, which I can keep next to my writing during practice.

 

Browse the Rare Books section on IAMPETH (see previous link) for more options.

I highly recommend "Write Now" by Getty and Dubay, its helped my handwriting immensely.

I prefer the older books. Practice systematically, as good script has no shortcuts.

If you are to practice cursive, or business script as it sometimes may be called, Palmer's standard of instructions force you to master the letters, and help develop as sense of uniformity among your letters. Cursive is generally meant to be a fast-writing script that is legible, and one that you could do for hours and not tire, perhaps one of the most important features of it.

_Write Now_ worked for me, too - my handwriting was execrable for forty-plus years and is now presentable. And I think that part of the reason for my success with Getty & Dubay is that it is cursive italic, which means that I had to learn new letter forms - rather than once again just failing to improve my existing scrawl.

 

The Sassoon books are very interesting, too, though not systematic (at least, the ones I've read).
