HANDWRITING WITHOUT TEARS
Handwriting Without Tears is a simple, developmentally based curriculum for writing readiness and printing. The multi-sensory lessons teach to all learning styles - visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic. The unique materials help to address letter formation, reversals, legibility and sentence spacing. The goal of the program is to make handwriting available for all children as an automatic and natural skill (Mrs. Thomas). By no way shape or form is it necessary for you to purchase any items, however, it may be a site you might like to visit to learn a few more ways to assist your child.

- Print with a capital at the beginning of sentences and names but use lowercase for the remainder of the word
- Recite the letter and sound as they print it
