Handwriting Without Tears

Our school uses a handwriting program called “Handwriting Without Tears.” This program helps your child learn how to properly form individual letters so s/he will have neat handwriting. I ask that you please be patient with your child as he is learning how to write properly. Over the next few weeks, please work with your child on pencil grip, placing the paper properly, and doing hand exercises (to strengthen the muscles in the hands). Please reference the sheets from my teacher’s guide that were sent home a few weeks ago regarding ways to practice handwriting.
