Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears

A handwriting curriculum that uses multi-sensory techniques and consistent habits to help students learn pencil grip, posture, letter formation and handwriting from Pre-K through cursive.

Handwriting Without Tears promotes....
-Language proficiency
-Color and shape awareness
-Fine and gross motor control
-Letter and number recognition
-Counting abilities
-Social skills

This school year I will be using Handwriting without tears in the classroom. It is being used in many school districts in the area and I have fallen in love with many of the techniques.

This is a video of Wet Try Dry.... Even with my despise of chalk I am so anxious to use this technique.



This video is of Mat Man...These wooden shapes help teach body awareness. 


The wooden shapes that are used in Mat Man are going to be used in the classroom to teach shapes, letters, and numbers.
