Introduction Letter

Dear Friends,

All of us at Learning Without Tears™ are committed to helping you continue student learning,
even when schools are closed. We are providing you and your students free resources to help
parents and caregivers support learning while children are out of school. You can find access
to all our free online products and resources at LWTears.com.

In addition, we are providing easy to print and copy At-Home Learning Packets. The packets
use the Handwriting Without Tears, developmentally based curriculum designed to engage
children of all learning styles. They are easy to use whether or not your students are currently
using the Learning Without Tears Curriculum.

These pages were created for extra handwriting practice. The lessons focus on good habits
for numbers, letters, words, and sentences. In the older grades, they help with punctuation,
poem, and paragraph skills, and review number formations. The At-Home Learning Packets are
organized by grade and available in English and Spanish. They include lowercase formation
and cursive where appropriate.

The first few pages include grade-level letter and number formation charts, so you’ll know
what to say when you help your child form their letters and numbers.

We are committed to helping you and your students mitigate any learning loss as you respond
to this unprecedented health issue. We are here to support you throughout, so please reach
out with any questions or concerns.

Thank you!
