Getty-Dubay

Getty-Dubay

Getty-Dubay is a modern version of Italic script developed in 1976 by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay and published by Portland State University to ease the transition to cursive. Other than strokes to join the letters, only the lower-case letter 'k' and a few upper-case letters are formed differently. Reportedly, about 1/3 of USA homeschoolers (and about 7% of USA schoolchildren generally) now learn Getty-Dubay rather than conventional manuscript-then-cursive handwriting styles. Additional modern Italic handwriting curricula used in the USA, and similar to Getty-Dubay in many respects, include Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting.
