This app brings the popular Getty-Dubay® WRITE NOW handwriting program to your tablet so you can use it as a workbook — only better. Youll be able to use the WRITE NOW instructional pages over and over by digitally erasing your previous sessions — practice to your hearts content!
This is not your grandparents handwriting. Getty-Dubay® WRITE NOW is already enjoyed by tens of thousands of adults worldwide. For nearly 30 years, the authors Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay have been using this book to teach people — from medical professionals to fountain pen enthusiasts — how to have legible, handsome handwriting without the loops and curlicues of conventional cursive.
Its real handwriting, for real life.
The app content takes you step-by-step through the printed italic alphabet (lowercase and capitals) and numbers, then onto joining these letters for flowing, legible cursive italic writing. The app also contains many pages of handwriting tips, guidelines, personal choices, and the history of handwriting. And the book walks its talk: it is completely handwritten by the authors.
The app is simple to use.
The app comes pre-loaded with the Getty-Dubay® WRITE NOW workbook. Turn pages, scroll, navigate and create bookmarks in the same way you would with an e-book.
The fun comes when you touch your stylus to the screen. Now you can select the color, width and opacity of your pen line. Trace and copy the handwriting models, reading the instructions and tips as you go. Erase your work and practice more by selecting the eraser icon to change the stylus function to erase mode, or by erasing you writing on the entire page at once. There are extra practice sheets at the end of the book, too.
On the 12.9” iPad Pro, the pages will appear in portrait orientation. On smaller iPads, pages will appear in landscape mode and scrolling will allow you to access the entire page. (For pedagogical reasons, screen rotation and zooming are disabled.)
This app replaces the need for the paperback workbook, which means youre saving paper and the resources that would have gone into producing and shipping the product.
While you may experience improved handwriting after just a few sessions, most gains will come from repeated practice over time. As you use this app, try out your new handwriting on whiteboards, or with pen and paper for thank you notes and other correspondence.
