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. Examples: 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.
