Handwriting Without Tears Grade K: Letters and Numbers for Me

In this level of Handwriting Without Tears, children start by learning the capital letters that are made with “frog jumps,” and “starting corners,” and then those that begin “at the center.” This level provides 26 pages for learning and practicing capitals. Students then progress to learning lowercase letters and, by the end of the year, to practicing words and sentences. The consumable student books are in horizontal layout. The necessary manipulatives include the Letters to Words Blackboard Set;13 wood pieces with mat; the blackboard with double lines; slate chalkboard with chalk bits; little sponge cubes; the pencil for little hands; and songs (available for free on YouTube®). Additional products can be chosen to tailor to your child’s needs. For example, one option includes these same products in a blue string bag with an additional Stamp & See Screen® kit.
