Handwriting Without Tears
We have a new handwriting program this year! Check it out at hwtears.com!
Handwriting Without Tears
Handwriting Without Tears is a proven success in making legible and fluent handwriting an easy and automatic skill for all students.
This program is a multisensory program designed to make handwriting fun because it teaches the easiest style, it includes fun strategies, and the student workbook is simple and straight forward!
A Lesson Example
Magic c is an important letter!Many of the letters are formed by
making the letter c first. For example, c, a, d, and g begin by
forming a c, which I will model now.
