 Overview

Handwriting Without Tears is a developmentally based, child friendly approach to writing. It helps children build a solid foundation for success in the classroom. Recent findings deomonstrate writing by hand improves creative writing skills and fine motor skills. This workshop is effective for anyone who wants to make handwiring easy and motivating for their students.
