WELCOME!
There is a great deal of talk about education standards in grades K-12 today. Handwriting fluency is fundamental to all areas of elementary education, because children think and write at the same time.
When we teach children to write, we also teach them to express themselves. If they struggle with their letters, their ability to express themselves will suffer. Spelling and math will also be affected.
Adopting high-quality standards for handwriting in elementary education can help all children in your school or district succeed.

What People Are Saying About HWT
“My teachers are loving Handwriting Without Tears. Today, a kindergarten teacher told me that when her students come to school, they beg to do penmanship!”
— Stephanie Youngerman, Educational Services Supervisor – Language Arts
“The program is working like a dream. I have never seen first graders come to nice handwriting so quickly. I am so happy I had the opportunity to take the course. Another teacher and I have talked up the curriculum so well that our principal has okayed us to use it as a pilot program this year.”
— Dee Ann Smith, First Grade Teacher, Grinnell Elementary, KS
