Learning Without Tears (which includes Handwriting Without Tears and Keyboarding Without Tears) has made their ‘Distance Learning Resources’ free for 90 days. It includes some great pre-printing and printing activities available for you to access through the internet. Whether you are working on pre-printing, capital letters, lower case, or cursive writing, there are fun and interactive resources available to help.
Some of these websites have additional resources that you can purchase. We want to ensure it is clear we are not encouraging anyone to purchase resources in lieu of us providing services. Each website has FREE resources available. Talk to your therapist if you have more specific questions/looking for more additional resources.
