I had no penmanship, and I had to print in order to write anything legible. I went through the book, and I now have a usable and readable cursive style, which looks much better than my old printing style. I'm not an artist, so it's not pretty, but it's readable and efficient.
Bonus: the entire book is hand-written in the style that it teaches.
My parents bought me the books from Getty and Dubay when I was a kid to improve my handwriting. I had a terrible time with legibility in 1st and 2nd grade, and they were adamant I improve. I haven't kept up with it as I should have, and this post is a reminder to myself to do so, but even today my signature and printing style are heavily influenced by italics.
