Is anyone teaching their children Spencerian penmanship?

[lenswyf]

I am so intrigued. My grandmother learned Spencerian script (I'm old!) and I always thought her handwriting was sooooo boootiful. I'm curious how children have responded to it.

I don't know any kids who have learned it, but it occurs to me that you could teach it as part of a larger focus on calligraphy, illumination and similar. I taught myself calligraphy as a kid, and would have liked to learn Spencer hand as well. My technique is such that that isn't likely, however. :rolleyes

There are neat intersections possible with art, history, and literature, too.

Grandma had the most beautiful penmanship. Hers was Palmer method, though. I just found out that Christian Liberty Press is Palmer. I'm so excited. :giggle

My son wants to learn Spencerian. If you find any examples online for him to copy, I'd love to know about them. He's old enough not to need a curriculum, he just needs to see it.
