Italic Handwriting Book C – Second Grade Get ready for your child's handwriting to take off—this time with airplanes, zeppelins, and a smooth glide from print to cursive. Designed for second graders, Italic Handwriting Book C is the bridge between printing and the beautiful flow of cursive italic. With age-appropriate practice themes like days of the week, months of the year, and cities across the USA, your child will sharpen both skills and confidence. Each page includes illustrated, engaging exercises with just-right letter sizes (9mm and 6mm). Capitals, lowercase, and numerals all get the spotlight. And cursive? It's gently introduced—no big leaps, just a natural next step that keeps pace with how kids' hands actually move. We've always been handwriting realists. Sure, you can succeed in life with chicken scratch, but legible writing? It's a gift to every banker, boss, and grandma who gets a note. Back when orders arrived by mail, we quietly celebrated the clearly written ones—and still do. Italic handwriting has long been a favorite with Timberdoodle families because it makes sense. It teaches just one alphabet, so kids aren't relearning everything from scratch when they shift to cursive. It's logical, efficient, and kind to growing hands. This isn't just about penmanship—it's about building communication skills, reinforcing reading and spelling, and laying the groundwork for future academic success. So sharpen those pencils and let the smooth strokes begin!
