Dear Family,
We are excited about the kindergarten handwriting program we are using this school year. Handwriting Without Tears® is a simple, developmentally based curriculum. The program uses fun, multisensory materials and music to teach letter and number formation.
Your child will be using the workbook Letters and Numbers for Me at school. The lessons focus on letters, numbers, and learning to print words and sentences correctly. The workbook also introduces punctuation and beginning poetry and paragraph skills. Our goal is to build the good handwriting habits that will help your child succeed in school.
We’re sending letter and number formation charts home so you’ll know what to say when you help your child. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
P.S. If you would like more information about the Handwriting Without Tears kindergarten program, visit the Handwriting Without Tears website: hwtears.com
