I am an artist with, what I think, is terrible penmanship. I often create things with wording and I struggle to make it look right, so I have my sister do the lettering. Not anymore! In just 1 week of practicing the alphabet in skeleton form (Without the thick and thins) with a carpenter's pencil (wide lead like a wide nibbled pen) and this book, and I'm well on my way!This book is perfect for me, I thought if this book can teach a child, it can teach me as well! On the other hand, I thought that if this can't teach me, nothing will! lolThe key to this, I've found, is repetition. Start with a roundhand lowercase (or miniscule) alphabet and write your abc's literally until you cannot stand to write another strange looking "g" (the roundhand lowercase "g" is the strangest way I've ever written a "g" before since the top circle doesnt fill up the entire x height, only about 2/3 plus the rest of the letter is made with a funky motion. It feels unnatural to me.) Even so, now I can make them with ease. After this is when I picked up this book. My normal handwriting has improved immensely, I find myself using the tips and tricks from this book without even thinking about. It's becoming second nature. Again, repetition is key! The practice pages in the back are perfect! I scanned them in and printed off a ton of copies. Lots of pictures, stroke numbers and detailed tips to help you or a child learn the beautiful art of calligraphy!One thing I didn't see in the book was the tip to use the carpenter's pencil at first. You get the hang of keeping it flat at all times with the wide lead, just like a wide nibbed pen. I can see where kids may have an easier time with that instead of jumping straight to a marker or fountain pen.(If I may also recommend a pen, the Pilot Parallel is amazing! So simple to use, to load and write with. The ink flows perfectly, it is unlike any other calligraphy or broad nibbled pen I've ever used and they're under $8 here on Amazon. I also recommend getting the 20 dollar 4 pack with differing sizes. 1.5, 2.4, 3.8 and 6.0)Speedball's Elegant Writers are great chisel tip markers to practice with also, and Amazon sells a 4 pk for 4 dollars as an add on item!**I included a photo of the funky roundhand script letter "g" just in case anyone wondered what I was talking about, but also to show the difference my practice has made. The "weird" g's looked terrible when I started a week ago.Written with the Pilot Parellel 1.5 mm ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT JUST FOR KIDS-For Any One Who Wants to Learn Calligraphy! *by S***3 on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2017* I'm 65 years old, so in no way am I a kid, but I never learned calligraphy, so I thought I'd start from the beginning. It is a good book for a beginner, no matter what your age is. One of the main reasons I gave this 5 stars is that the book has lined pages in the back that you can copy for practicing all the types of calligraphy they teach. Lined pages are a MUST while learning, if not for writing as a pro. I would recommend this to any beginner who wants to learn calligraphy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for even young kids! *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018* My daughter is still learning to read and to write, but she insisted upon starting to learn calligraphy because she loves to see mine. The book is a great break-down for a young reader, and moves forward slowly and surely through the method. My daughter is not only learning calligraphy basics, but her reading, writing, and spelling has gotten so much better as well. We love it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/129143163-calligraphy-for-kids-calligraphy-basics-book-1-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/129143163-calligraphy-for-kids-calligraphy-basics-book-1-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
