Handwriting Without Tears Homeschool Handwriting Curriculum

And, my children's writing doesn't look like Handwriting Without Tears, it looks like their own version. I got My Printing Book for both of them so I haven't used any of the other books yet. You can always change to a "prettier" style if you have a child who wants to put the time and artistry into making beautiful letters. But for basic handwriting teaching methods — hands down, Handwriting Without Tears is the best. — Merry, 17 May 2005

Note: If you choose the homeschool Handwriting Without Tears program to teach handwriting, you will notice that they introduce letters in a different order than we do in the Instructor's Guide. This is on purpose since the Handwriting Without Tears homeschool program starts with the letters that are the easiest to write and progresses to those that are formed similarly.

When teaching letter sounds, we are preparing your child for reading. What is important to learn first for reading is not necessarily the easiest to learn to write.

• It works. Even with kids who face significant learning challenges and physical limitations.
• You'll find that it makes sense to you as you are trying to teach.
• Users say it's particularly easy to use with left-handed students.
