Handwriting Without Tears, Kindergarten Printing Bundle, Age 5+, K+, Student Workbook, Writing Journal & Teacher's Guide, School & Home, Language Arts, Tutoring, Tiny Pencils, Desk Strip

This bundle is a perfect gentle start to handwriting for young learners. The materials are thoughtfully designed for small hands, and the activities build skills step by step without overwhelming kids. The student workbook is engaging and the writing journal is helpful for extra practice, and the teacher's guide makes it easy to support learning at home or in the classroom. I appreciate how it focuses on forming good habits from the beginning... like letter size, placement, and neatness... while still keeping things fun and age-appropriate. Great foundation for confident, early writers!

I have used this program for years and years to teach and improve handwriting in my pediatric occupational therapy practice. Handwriting Without Tears (HWT) is truly the gold standard, in my opinion. There is an order in which children learn how to draw a vertical line, horizontal line, diagonal line, curved line, etc., and this book not only practices doing that, but introduces letters in an order that practices those skills in the way they are meant to be learned. The order of the letters throughout the workbook is not “random”, though it may seem that way. The teacher’s guide is a great reference and helps parents, grandparents, teachers, and therapists learn how to teach the HWT program the correct way. 12/10 recommend!

Great tool for kinder writing!! We’ve used this for our bridge between pre-k and kinder. It was a great resource for my kiddo!

Probably could’ve gotten by without the teachers manual because I have the pre-k one, but it does offer a lot of good ideas and information.

I love this curriculum except for the way it teaches writing the numeral 6. It instructs students to start with a straight line down, then curve into a little circle. This looks more like a lowercase b. But otherwise this curriculum is great.

We've tried different handwriting curriculum, but this is by far the best and helped my son immensely in learning how to write letters. My one gripe is some of the letters seem a little weird, but that's just because they are a different style than what I use/learned. I do wish there was more guidance on using the journal, but that's a small gripe.

I am excited to use this with my little one but the books did not come with the pencils as pictured.

I was a little hesitant buying this program at first because my oldest used it in public school and I don't like the way he writes some letters but we decided to try it anyways. I'm really glad I gave it another chance! My prek/ kindergartener has really enjoyed this program and even pulls it out wanting to work more. He has autism so we wanted a program that was more hands on since he struggles with just sitting and writing. We first build the letter with wood pieces (I made these but you can buy them from HWOT) then we do the chalkboard and finish up his the book. It has been working wonderfully for us. He's forming very nice letters and is enjoying it so that's a win! Will be using this program with his younger sister when she's old enough as well. She already works in their green prek book for fun. (Chalkboard pic is his first first time writing them on the board by following their steps)

Absolutely amazing, my child learned so much so quickly with no fighting or crying. I found the package with the teachers manual was a better idea, as I am by no means a teacher, it was super helpful

Developmentally appropriate for teaching handwriting but very poor printing quality. Multiple stains over the book. The teachers handbook is highly repetitive. You really only need the student workbook (letters and numbers for me)

Wonderful program to help young children with proper formation with letters. This bundle comes with everything you need as a teacher or parent to support the child on the process. You may want to consider a tripod finger grip to go along with it, though. Proper grip is so important with the legibility of writing. Put in the work now and they will always have great printing.

Does what it says it'll do. They can handwrite now. :D
