She shares her creative suggestions and learning tips in this excellent "how-to" book which helps you determine if your child is ready to start handwriting.

This program includes unique ideas for helping children learn to write their letters and numbers without frustration, tips for the left-handed child, discussion on why it is important to teach capitals first and why standard handwriting paper just confuses children.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice workbook,
By
This review is from: Printing Power-Contracted Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 7 yo homeschooled son. It really helped him improve his printing and corrected his bad habit of (sometimes) writing from the bottom up with only a few minutes work per day. He really liked the little graphics and they seemed to make the proper letter formation stick in his mind. (I thought they were a little hokey, but hey, it's not for me, right?!?) I just ordered another copy of "Printing Power" for a traditionally-schooled friend whose mom was really impressed with my son's progress. A nice price, too, for a workbook that can last a few months. My son has just moved on to the next book (Cursive Handwriting) and he is so excited and doing really well - great transition.

My son isn't reversing his letters thanks to HWT!,

This review is from: Printing Power-Contracted Edition (Paperback)
I thought my 7 yo might have dislexia, he had so many letter reversals, but after only a month using HWT, the improvement is amazing! He really enjoys his handwriting time now, and often does more than one lesson a day. I think he has discovered he is good at handwriting, and it is truely motivating him to improve even more. I only wish we had started with this program!

Printing Power is great!,
This review is from: Printing Power-Contracted Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book to help my son with his poor penmanship and to prepare my younger son for cursive writing. This book is wonderful and has really improved my son's penmanship. I have also purchased the cursive writing for grades 2 and 3 so we're ready when the time comes!
