All students can have difficulty with writing development. If the student however, like my students, have special needs the tasks of writing can become even more of a challenge. The Learning Without Tears Program is a proven and established program that can be used with all students regardless of their "ability". The program promotes developmental appropriate tools to make writing fun. The use of the Learning Without Tears Program's Stamp and See along with the Capital Letter Cards and Roll a Dough Letter/Number Cards promote a fun multi sensory educational experience. The program supports left and right handed students. The program is developmentally focused and uses concepts that can be easily carried over and modified as the students achieve their beginning foundational goals. The use of specific shapes to build letters and numbers, directional colorful cards and supportive workbooks and work pages will make such a difference in the school year for learning. Special writing tools that are made for little hands as they learn to draw, write, color and express themselves, should be a requirement and is greatly needed. I have attended special training for this program and have received some supporting material, but we are still in need. The use of the Learning Without Tears Program will promote reading, writing, and developmental learning skills that will support a stronger foundation for student success. We ask for a little help to add to what we have in order to present a full program to promote academic success for all my students, regardless of their "ability". I thank you for any support you can provide.
