Handwriting

Welcome to Handwriting Without Tears

Good handwriting is one of the foundation skills of language development. As handwriting skills are developed, students will focus on content rather than on the mechanics of letter and number formation. As children gain handwriting mastery, their writing becomes more fluid and automatic, so they can write with speed and ease.

The Handwriting Without Tears program was developed by teachers, administrators, and occupational therapists. It is the combination of many successes of the young writer.

The program begins with capital letters and numbers. It then moves forward to lowercase letters. The children use blocks, a small chalkboard, and a booklet. These various tools using tactile and kinesthetic ways of learning help the child to form their letters and numbers correctly. There is also a a set of songs that comes with the program. A favorite song is “ start your letters at the top”.
