Course No. 1 — Slant 52°
The continuous, old-fashioned cursive of grade-school copybooks. Every letter joins the next; the pen rarely lifts. The study of rhythm and flow. Every letter opens with a short warm-up, so the hand is relaxed before the first stroke.
Foundations
Set up well, loosen the wrist, and learn the drills every letter of this hand is built on.
The Letters, First Half
Slow, guided practice — every letter opens with its own warm-up before the ink commits.
The Letters, Second Half
The remaining forms, joining what you already know into even, confident lines.
Speed & Real Life
Spacing and composition, then the payoff: the notecard, the envelope, and the letter.
Continuous loops to loosen the wrist and find a steady tempo.
A series of ovals to settle rhythm and even downstroke weight.
Alternate heavy and light strokes to train controlled pressure.
