I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for my artistic daughter for handwriting. She learned cursive with Handwriting Without Tears and has beautiful handwriting and she enjoys it. She has completed all those books and I'd like to keep her learning handwriting for the next few years - but move her on to a more elegant style. I've purchased a calligraphy book, but I think it's a bit much right now. I was thinking maybe I should try the Rod and Staff Penmanship. Peterson seems nice but a little involved. Anyone have a suggestion?

I like the Queen Homeschool Pictures in Cursive books. They are an art study and cursive in one. Supposedly they get progressively harder, but I haven't seen them in person yet. We're still working on Cheerful Cursive but I thought I would move on to these Queen ones when done with that.

If want you really want is artistic elegance, then Spencerian Penmanship probably takes the cake. My oldest daughter (now a homeschooling mom herself) used it for fun in middle school.

Blessings,
