My Printing Book

My child never struggled with writing, but his letters were all over the place—capital and lowercase mixed up, uneven sizing, and inconsistent placement. Handwriting Without Tears was exactly what we needed to turn that around. The program’s simple, step-by-step approach helped him understand where letters “live” on the line and how to make them the right size. The visual cues and repetition really worked—and best of all, he enjoyed it! No stress, no boredom, just steady progress and neat writing. If you’re looking for a clear, gentle way to teach handwriting fundamentals like spacing, sizing, and letter formation, this is hands down one of the best tools out there. By the end of the program, his writing had improved drastically—neater, more consistent, and so much easier to read. Highly recommend!

We’ve used these books by Handwriting Without Tears for 3 kids and have loved them every time (aside from one exception). They teach exactly how to form letters, with fun graphics to the proper way: “slide down and up” with a picture of a slide, “magic c”, bump the line like bumper cars). They’re the perfect small portions that aren’t too overwhelming. We usually do two pages a day. I used this yellow book for my 1st grader and it was just right. My older kids have gone through all the books. The only one I really disliked from this company was the cursive book - it’s terrible and doesn’t teach cursive with the correct slant that you need for flow, plus they added weird flat lines between letters than my son tried to imitate, plus the m’s and n’s are very confusing. Choose Cursive Logic instead. But for printing books, I love this brand!

I already purchased this previously along with the handwriting teacher's guide, but my child needed additional writing practice. So, this is the second time my kid is going through the workbook. It's fun enough that they don't mind. I love that the pages lay flat, and the pages are printed in black and white so it isn't distracting with too many colors. This is great for late kindergarten to first graders, and for our kid who needed some writing practice prior to starting second grade and the early months of starting first grade. It's a great workbook to maintain your kid's writing skills over the summer, or to keep them busy over school breaks.

We love HWT! This curriculum has been a great addition into our homeschool routine for our 6 year old. She prefers to write in smaller print and this level is really helping her with correct formatting. The pages are also short and simple so it’s not so overwhelming for her and she feels like she can complete a page in one sitting. Very pleased with this curriculum.

I tried another curriculum for one year and just couldn't do it..HWT is the absolute best

Good book

I used a different handwriting book before this one for my child. Based on other parents recommendations I decided to try this one. Its not like other books where there are three lines to write so that threw my child off. He still has trouble understanding where to write and sometimes I get confused how to teach him the way the book says. I believe theres a teachers guide to go with this book? I did not buy it but it might have helped us both. Regardless, we will finish this book and learn some new things along the way

We are using this for homeschooling with our 7yo. He really likes it and I appreciate that it’s great practice but not too much for him in one sitting. He is happy to get this book out and do his pages each day. And there have been NO tears (or even any sadness) during the process. Once we’re done with this book I plan to get the next one.
