The result: Handwriting Without Tears for children, parents, and educators!

Best of all, the curriculum costs half as much as the large publishers programs. However, schools and parents tell us that the real savings come from the success of the program. The curriculum is so effective that they do not have to spend time or money on evaluations, special education, and/or other extra resources. The best costs less.
