When our children wanted to have elegant cursive penmanship after they learned a basic cursive, I encouraged them to use the Spencerian workbooks.
The Spencerian Set includes the “teacher theory book” and the five copybooks numbered 1 to 5 as shown in the picture.
Writing Instruments: Old or New?
Instructions call for dipping your pen into the bottle of ink; we used a mechanical pencil. Spencer wrote these books over 100 years ago!
If you want that old-fashioned “calligraphy” look, there are calligraphy pens available with tips similar those of that time. These come with ink cartridges which are better than dipping the pen into an ink bottle.
You can also use a felt-tip pen with a calligraphy tip or a ballpoint pen with a finer point. Some of our children used mechanical pencils.
The Spencerian Set includes the “teacher theory book” and the five copybooks numbered 1 to 5 as shown in the picture.
