Strategies for Success

Learning Without Tears® creates developmentally appropriate strategies that instill in students a love of learning and to help all learners succeed. We believe that all students deserve equitable access to high-quality instruction and that children benefit from different modes of learning.

Common Curricular Goals

Handwriting is essential. When students practice letter formation, they create the foundation for reading and writing skills they will use throughout their lives. Handwriting Without Tears is an evidence-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum proven to drive successful results in Pre-K–5 students.
