It’s the Big Reveal!

Ta-da! We’ve been dropping hints like breadcrumbs about what secret developments we’ve been working on, but today we’re finally revealing the new Learning Without Tears line-up. The New Year has brought brand new editions of all of our teacher’s guides, new journals, and a new grade level for transitional kindergarten. We’ve also added a new line of writing worksbooks for extra practice—plus, a revolutionary new way to teach handwriting in the digital age! Let’s take a look at how we’re revolutionizing handwriting instruction in your classroom:

New Student Editions and Teacher’s Guides

New grade level: Kick Start Kindergarten for Transitional kindergarten

Building Writers (Grades K–5)

Building Writers is a new line of student editions that offer extra practice for writing skill development and can be easily incorporated into a writing block as independent writing or as whole group practice to meet your students’ varying needs. Students become better, more fluent writers as they write about cross-curricular topics and practice three types of writing styles: narrative, information, and opinion.

• Structured practice to build core writing skills

• Developmental approach to writing 

• Offers customizable writing templates to fit with any topic
