The Learning without Tears My Printing Book program is a Grade 1 handwriting program designed to be intuitive, engaging, and developmentally progressive. Children actively participate in learning through movement, talking, and singing. Lessons take approximately 15 minutes per day and cover posture and grip, capital levels, lowercase letters, words and sentences, and numbers through a variety of multisensory and writing-based activities.

Lessons are easy-to-use and include an objective, a lesson introduction, the student workbook page number, QR codes for multimedia elements, reduced-size student pages, and a detailed lesson plan with enrichment, support/ELL notes, and cross-curricular connections at the bottom. The back of the book includes a section with detailed instructions for the multisensory activities.

This curriculum can be supplemented with the wood pieces set for capital letters, capital letter cards and mat for wood pieces, Rock, Rap, Tap & Learn CD, Magic C Bunny, slate chalkboard and blackboard with double lines, slate chalkboard, Flip Crayons, and Pencils for Little Hands.

This new edition features updated, unit-based teaching guidelines, updated lesson plans with a streamlined lesson design, simplified teaching guidelines, cross-curricular and school-to-home connections, and optional digital augmentation offerings. Students receive accelerated capital letter instruction, more opportunities for writing practice, and seamless teaching that includes modeling, writing, and music.

The online resources referenced throughout are available; you will be directed to a login page where you'll create a free account. This account provides a 30- day free trial of the full digital experience, which is designed with features for classroom teachers using digital whiteboards. After the trial ends, only the "A Click Away" resources are available, which are all that homeschoolers should need to supplement the program.
