After some search for a method of instruction in basic penmanship I’ve settled on the following book:
The Champion Method of Practical Business Writing by Mary L. Champion
The book is freely available at:

This is the script I studied in the early 1960s; I am glad to see that it is still in use. It is attractive and very easy to read.
