I just thought I’d share with you this wonderful handwriting program. I’m working with a boy that was diagnosed with global developmental delay that has absolutely delayed gross and fine motor devt. His OT suggested this handwriting without tears program and I just love it. Very cheap, too. I bought the teacher’s guide for $7. Lots of gimmicks on how to teach the letters. Complete with exact things to say to the child. Our school uses D Nealian, but it just doesn’t work with this boy, so I modified his program.

I usually teach the lowercase letters first by patterns because we use lowercase in writing most of the time, but this program suggests teaching uppercase first! Well, whatever works : )
