Learning Without Tears, My Printing Book, Student Workbook, Age 6+, 1st Grade+, Handwriting Practice, Writing Book, School & Home, Language Arts, Tutoring

Great book to practice printing. The sentences are progressing in difficulty for the school year.

We’ve used these books by Handwriting Without Tears for 3 kids and have loved them every time (aside from one exception). They teach exactly how to form letters, with fun graphics to the proper way: “slide down and up” with a picture of a slide, “magic c”, bump the line like bumper cars). They’re the perfect small portions that aren’t too overwhelming. We usually do two pages a day. I used this yellow book for my 1st grader and it was just right. My older kids have gone through all the books. The only one I really disliked from this company was the cursive book - it’s terrible and doesn’t teach cursive with the correct slant that you need for flow, plus they added weird flat lines between letters than my son tried to imitate, plus the m’s and n’s are very confusing. Choose Cursive Logic instead. But for printing books, I love this brand!

My child never struggled with writing, but his letters were all over the place—capital and lowercase mixed up, uneven sizing, and inconsistent placement. Handwriting Without Tears was exactly what we needed to turn that around. The program’s simple, step-by-step approach helped him understand where letters “live” on the line and how to make them the right size. The visual cues and repetition really worked—and best of all, he enjoyed it! No stress, no boredom, just steady progress and neat writing. If you’re looking for a clear, gentle way to teach handwriting fundamentals like spacing, sizing, and letter formation, this is hands down one of the best tools out there. By the end of the program, his writing had improved drastically—neater, more consistent, and so much easier to read. Highly recommend!

This writing book has been a fantastic tool for my 1st grader. It teaches letter formation in a clear, sequential way, starting with individual letters and gradually building up to words and full sentences. The lessons are quick and approachable, making it easy to stay consistent without overwhelming my child. The layout is very child-friendly, with engaging prompts and just the right amount of practice on each page. Highly recommend for early writers!

I already purchased this previously along with the handwriting teacher's guide, but my child needed additional writing practice. So, this is the second time my kid is going through the workbook. It's fun enough that they don't mind. I love that the pages lay flat, and the pages are printed in black and white so it isn't distracting with too many colors. This is great for late kindergarten to first graders, and for our kid who needed some writing practice prior to starting second grade and the early months of starting first grade. It's a great workbook to maintain your kid's writing skills over the summer, or to keep them busy over school breaks.

We love HWT! This curriculum has been a great addition into our homeschool routine for our 6 year old. She prefers to write in smaller print and this level is really helping her with correct formatting. The pages are also short and simple so it’s not so overwhelming for her and she feels like she can complete a page in one sitting. Very pleased with this curriculum.

I used a different handwriting book before this one for my child. Based on other parents recommendations I decided to try this one. Its not like other books where there are three lines to write so that threw my child off. He still has trouble understanding where to write and sometimes I get confused how to teach him the way the book says. I believe theres a teachers guide to go with this book? I did not buy it but it might have helped us both. Regardless, we will finish this book and learn some new things along the way

I homeschool my kids and one has autism. This book breaks it down so easy for both of them. It was easy for me to guide my autistic son what to do. After a couple repetition he was able to figure out what he needed to do. I was able to observe which letters he was struggling with and why he was unable to write words in the correct format. I recommend this book if you have a struggling one.

Bought this for my grade one homeschool daughter it’s perfect it’s definitely helping her with correcting some bad habits and bringing her penmanship to be more legible .

Using for grade 1- easy to use & mostly independent

Wonderful tool to help kids learn to print neatly. My boys get really frustrated with writing and they like these books. It’s helped them a lot.
