2013 Handwriting Without Tears

Cursive Handwriting workbook, p.38


11/16/12 4:09 PM

Dear Family,
We are excited about the third grade handwriting program we are using this school year.
Handwriting Without Tears is a cursive curriculum that suits modern life. The letters and connections
have been simplified by using a vertical style that gives the writing a clean, easy-to-read appearance.
Lowercase letters are introduced first, beginning with letters that are similar to print.
Were using the workbook Cursive Handwriting at school. Lessons focus not just on correct letter formations
but on connections, too. Ease in connecting letters helps children like cursive and develop fluency. As they
practice cursive, theyll be learning grammar, poetry, paragraphs, even a little Greek and Latin. That combination
of cursive and writing activities will help your child succeed in school.
Were sending home cursive formation charts so youll know what were teaching and how to help at home.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

P.S. For more information about the third grade program, visit the Handwriting Without Tears website: hwtears.com
