Vintage Cursive Handwriting penmanship teacher guide CD grade school home school

Description

This ebay listing is for the sale of a computer DVD ROM title: Cursive Handwriting Teacher's Guide, 1909.
This CD ROM contains over 214 pages in pdf file format
Part I of this CD publication is compiled from a 1909 handbook of Public School Penmanship teacher's guide.
Proceeding very logically by first educating us as to WHY penmanship is so vital to
human communication and its theory of grace and elegance, we learn what to teach (or
learn) in penmanship to have effective skills, and then we learn how to teach
penmanship in a step by step progression of skills to competence.
This is from an era when folks remembered that the personal touch in communications,
that conveying that you cared and were willing to invest in each other, had value.
It is also from an era when style in communications was considered part of the
communications. Today we have become a bit literal and forgotten these social graces
in many of the fine points like penmanship.
Getting a beautifully crafted handwritten letter is a joy!
From the details of how to sit, how to old a pen, how to focus on the surface and hold
posture, position of feet, to the methods of moving the pen itself, this book spares
us nothing in learning how to write correctly and well.
Arm position, how to hold the paper, hygiene, clothing, and much more - are all
included in vast detail till we have learned every detail of penmanship.
This is more than a quick how to guide, this is THE authoritive handbook on how to
become a great penman.
Whether you want to learn, or you are interested in the era of teaching and how
detailed instruction was - or you are an established penman or calligrapher and seeking
to refine a bit ... this is a great read, and you are sure to learn something of
significance if you do these exercises.
I truly wish I had learned penmanship.
Alas, I am of the typewriter and computer generation.
Part II of this CD is compiled from Teaching of Penmanship, A manual for teachers, originally published in 1913.
Movement and Efficiency oriented Penmanship Exercises and explanations of the sequence of teaching skills, this book provides a nice diversity of examples and methods for penmanship students.
We move from pencil to crayon and finally to pen in a very creative method of developing penmanship skills.
Form of characters, Penmanship Pointers and diagnosis skills of Style and character, and errors or poor writing are all included in a manner to make it easy and clear to understand faults and how to correct them.
when you are done with this your characters WILL have clarity and precision.
Enjoy!
