Book 9: Printing with Finesse

This course is recommended for Gr. 6 to Adult. It covers Block letters (also known as Upper Case Manuscript), regular Manuscript printing and Italic printing. It is good to become proficient at each style of printing because the business world uses various printing fonts almost exclusively. All capitals and letters are 3/4 of the line for neat and efficient printing. As note taking and assignments increase, a student's handwriting/printing should remain legible and neat. Because of the computer age, more students are printing manuscript instead of handwriting in cursive letters. This course is therefore offered to help the student's printed work to be neater and more consistent and therefore easier to read. This course requires a minimum of 10 minutes daily practice to improve writing style and to become consistent. At the same time the soul is edified by the thoughts expressed in the Holy Bible (Douay Rheims, 1899).

Book 10: European Handwriting Style

This unique course trains the mind and hand to various disciplines.  It contains two styles; first, the Simple (Austrian) Alphabet, great for notetaking, and second, the Traditional (French) Alphabet made with pressure changes, great for cards and documents etc. Practice uses the Scriptures in Latin and English, French, Spanish, or the Mother tongue if it is different from these. One looks up the Mother tongue translation in a family Bible or on Internet.  The Appendix has the greetings for the year in the above living languages and again the mother tongue is looked up. Self test pages are included throughout.
