About Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears teaches letter formation through simplified letter shapes, double-line paper, and multisensory activities that build fine and gross motor skills alongside the actual writing practice.

The program has a clear developmental sequence — starting with size and letter fit before introducing lines — and transitions to a clean, vertical cursive style starting in second grade, chosen to mirror print and ease the switch from print to cursive.

Best for young or struggling writers who benefit from a simplified, multisensory approach to letter formation, and for families wanting a low-prep, standalone handwriting program.

Why Families Choose It

Simplified Letter Shapes

Removes unnecessary complexity that trips up early writers.

Multisensory Activities

Builds fine and gross motor skills alongside handwriting practice.

Smooth Cursive Transition

Vertical cursive style mirrors print for an easier switch.

What Families Love

  • Simplified letter shapes make handwriting easier to learn.
  • Hands-on, multi-sensory activities build fine motor skills alongside writing.
  • Clear path from print through cursive.
  • Minimal prep needed from the parent.

Things to Consider

  • Standalone program — doesn’t cover other language arts skills.
  • Consumable workbooks need repurchasing for each child.
