Handwriting Without Tears®

"Take pains to write a neat round, plain hand, and you will find it a great convenience through life to write a small and compact hand as well as a fair and legible one." ~ Thomas Jefferson

A Few Reasons to Choose Handwriting Without Tears

  • Children who have mastered handwriting are better, more creative writers

  • HWT uses developmentally appropriate, multisensory tools and strategies

  • Handwriting Without Tears® and Get Set for School® have been nationally recognized for excellence in helping children develop a love of learning

Mat Man (above) helps children identify and visualize the parts of their bodies in space.  We can build him with the wood pieces (and a few little extras).  Children's drawings of people improve right away! (See the before and after?  That was before and after the Mat Man lesson!)  Click on Mat Man to see his video on YouTube.
