UNIQUE HANDWRITING CURRICULUM:
Generations of Experience.
Jonathan knew his mother's life's work would make a great app. The Internet agreed. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Jonathan trusted Germinate to deliver a digital version of his mother's beloved handwriting instruction workbook.
Jonathan's mom, Inga Dubay and her partner Barbara Getty, have helped a generation improve their everyday writing with what is called modern italic handwriting - quick like cursive but less formal. With Germinate, Getty-Dubay's "Write Now" program can now help digital natives (and the rest of us) with an instructional app.
Learning through your hands.
For early learners, literacy and language development are foundations of readiness, and research suggests that handwriting is a key component. Learning to write letters and form words are powerful first steps toward academic success. With the Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series, kids learn one alphabet — basic italic transitions naturally to cursive.
In elementary school, handwriting is an important scaffold for basic literacy skills. For middle school students, fluent handwriting means more language arts success, and better preparation for high school.

"From the very beginning, Michael Krol and his team at Germinate approached my app development inquiry with a positive, can-do attitude — the same attitude that produced exactly the app I was hoping for just few months later.”
