5.0 out of 5 stars Best Handwriting Curriculum Possible, March 1, 2006

This review is from: Cursive Handwriting - Contracted Edition (Paperback)

The Handwriting Without Tears "HWT" cursive program permitted my high-functioning autistic third grader to get through his homework and schoolwork successfully. At age 8, homework took forever as he struggled to form letters and numbers legibly. The other third graders were learning cursive alphabetically. We worked through this workbook, one double page per day. Within three months, writing was still slow, but legible. We repeated the workbook, then moved on to "Cursive Success." Spelling practice was no longer a battle. And, he LIKED it (especially the illustrations and descriptions of how to form each letter). The directions are clear enough for a parent without special training to administer. I recommend for any child, and wish I had known about the printing program.

After struggling to teach the D'Nealian style of handwriting, I have found this book to be much easier for children to understand. It does not encourage slanted writing. But it does show how to easily connect the letters, which is what cursive means. Somewhat simplified, but that is probably okay. I like the workbook format. It teaches how to do handwriting with space to practice. I would use this in homeschooling and also as an enrichment tool at home for after-schoolers.

I do love these books. They are inexpensive, clear and can be 100% student-led. The style is not as pretty as some, but I have found that once my kids get the basics down they tend to embelish and make it their own anyway.
