Getty-Dubay is a modern version of Italic script developed in 1976 by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay and published by Portland State University to ease the transition to cursive. Other than strokes to join the letters, only the lower-case letter 'k' and a few upper-case letters are formed differently. Reportedly, about 1/3 of USA homeschoolers (and about 7% of USA schoolchildren generally) now learn Getty-Dubay rather than conventional manuscript-then-cursive handwriting styles.[citation needed] Another modern Italic handwriting curriculum used in the USA, similar to Getty-Dubay in many respects, is Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting.
