This hands-on workshop introduces educators to Handwriting Without Tears, a developmentally appropriate, research-based program designed to build foundational handwriting skills in early learners. Participants will explore the core components of the program, including multisensory tools, daily routines, and lesson structures that support fine motor development and writing fluency. The session will highlight strategies for integrating handwriting into the foundational literacy block, model sample lessons, and demonstrate how to use resources such as Wood Pieces, Mat Man, and student workbooks effectively. By the end of the workshop, educators will be equipped to confidently implement engaging, developmentally aligned handwriting instruction in their classrooms.
