Handwriting Help

Are you worried about the legibility of your child's handwriting? If you think she needs a bit more practice to perfect her penmanship, I recommend the Handwriting Without Tears program. Here are the reasons I think you will love it:

• Children can make noticeable progress even with brief, five-minute practice sessions.

• With regular practice, families can easily complete a book in less than one school year.

• The sequence in which letters are presented focuses on physical similarities between the letters and how they are formed.

• The directions are easy-to-follow and simple for non-teachers to administer.

• Exercises in the book are accompanied by cheerful illustrations.

You can find the books locally at ABC's and 123's or Child's Play. Books and additional materials are available online from the Handwriting Without Tears website and Amazon.
