English Teacher Guides provide the overall teaching philosophy, techniques and applicable multi-sensory activities, but do not provide the daily lesson plans. There are currently no Spanish Teacher Guides available. Please note, the Spanish Student Books are also now updated to 2018 editions. While some of the content is the same from the 2013 version, the expanded content means the two editions are not compatible without considerable parental/teacher modification (depending on lesson and level). Newly revised in 2018, the Teacher Guides provide additional teaching instruction and support, while the Student Books provide more writing practice for each lesson. Workbooks may be used separately, although at the early levels parents of struggling writers may find the Teacher Guides extremely valuable. Each level of Handwriting without Tears consists of a workbook and teacher guide.Ĭonsumable Student workbooks have horizontal pages in Kindergarten through Grade 2. Teaching and practice sessions are short (10-15 minutes), without a lot of meaningless busy work.

Unique to this program, practice pages use a two-horizontal-line format rather than the three-horizontal-line format typically found in writing programs, cursive has no slant and letters are formed using a very simple single-stroke, and it uses a multisensory approach to teach. Children who struggle with motor skills or experience cognitive difficulties will also reap great benefits from this program. It is particularly helpful for children who are left-handed children or those who need a more interactive approach to learning. Providing a tactile, hands-on approach to handwriting, this approach works well for many types of students.
