The Handwriting Without Tears® kindergarten program incorporates hands-on activities and multisensory teaching strategies that build good handwriting habits early. Teaching will engage students, with music, movement, fine motor activities, and child friendly language.
Research supports the active teaching of handwriting. Recent findings demonstrate that writing by hand improves creative writing skills and fine motor skills. In fact, elementary students have been found to write more and faster by hand than when keyboarding.

Teaching Strategies
We teach actively and explicitly in a developmental sequence. Our program uses multisensory teaching to incorporate all the senses in a fun and engaging way, ensuring that all children learn regardless of learning style or background.
Developmental Sequence
We teach the easiest skills first, then build on prior knowledge. Our teaching sequence takes advantage of child development and brain research to promote effective learning and good habits.
