Learning Without Tears - My First School Book Student Workbook, Current Edition - Get Set for School Series - Pre-K Writing Book - Social-Emotional, Pre-Writing Skills - for School or Home Use

Nice learning book. I started using this with my granddaughter when she was 2 and a half. She used a pencil, no crayons . She liked trying it. Now that she’s three, I erased some of it and we’re going over it again in a more orderly way.

As an OT, these workbooks are great for fine motor development as well as learning proper handwriting skills! Learning the formation of letters using the HWT method helps ease kids into learning how to write in cursive and takes away the challenges of how to write.

Amazing book!!!! Changed our school life and my daughter loves it!!!!! We do it every day. I recommend this brand to everyone!!!

This books is amazing for beginners! I really won’t buy any other curriculum then HWT. They know how to teach it without tears.

This is a wonderful book. I bought a few books to teach my kids to write letters, and most of them are very big and follow the alphabet arrangement to teach kids to write. So when I ordered this book I was a tad disappointed that the letters were not arranged alphabetically, and kids learned to write random alphabets. But I did a few pages. One night while reading a book, I asked one of my boys who had a hard time with letters to read specific letters, and he got all of them write. He was starting to tell the difference between B and D, and T and I for the first time. I was surprised and happy because we had just done those letters the day before from this book. I am nearing completion and am very very happy with the progress my kids have made. My boys are 4 and have just started to learn to write all their alphabets, but were behind the girls in their class. So I spent the summer on this book. Initially it took longer but now I do 2-3 pages daily and we should finish in the next week or so. I am very very happy with this book. This is one of the best books I have seen for writing practice and much better than the boring books out there that just expect kids to write alphabet over and over to remember. The only thing that would have made this book better is if it had included "zigzag". One of my boys writes in a "curvy" way for A, M, W, V, etc. It is hard for him to make strong corners with a straight line and makes it curvy instead. I didn't find that this book helped much there. Once I showed him zig zag and made zig zag lines, he was able to write A, M, W, V, N, etc. much better. Also, he had a very hard time telling the difference between C and S and kept writing C as ). Even doing this book didn't help there. So I wish this book had focused on creative ways to help there. However, I still highly recommend this book. My kids are starting preschool this year and they are already doing well in their letters. One of my boys who was struggling with recognizing letters did better with this book than the other who knows his letters very well but doesn't know to write yet. I wish a similar book existed for small letters. The next level is too high since it has the kids write words. I really wish there was one book on small letters. Regarding not having this in alphabetical order, it makes sense to me now because the book focuses on having the kids progress in the right way rather than just follow alphabetical order.

Loved using these with my daughter! Can’t recommend enough.

We were at a BBQ last summer and there happened to be a Kindergarten teacher there. I explained that my youngest of 4 boys was starting Kindergarten the following year and to save money I wasn’t going to send him to preschool. She recommended this book. He was excited whenever I pulled the book out to teach him. We just got home from his Kindergarten evaluation. The teacher raves about his skills and how ready he was for Kindergarten. I told her about this book and she asked me to send her the info. So I did.

The media could not be loaded. We homeschool and I didn't want to push handwriting or writing in general with my preschooler. She hasn't had a history of living to come.So I introduced this book to her gently and told her she could do it if she wanted to. It took a few months but she's started getting into it!I love the way this book gently approaches handwriting with coloring. The way they have you form letters is appropriate and I highly recommend it.
