Multiple Modalities Bring Learning to Life

Handwriting Without Tears® engages multiple modalities to bring learning to life. Multisensory activities and manipulatives appeal to all learning styles and provide a hands-on approach to handwriting. We help students develop writing skills through explicit multisensory, play-based instruction. Students move, touch, feel, and manipulate real objects as they learn the correct habits and skills that are essential for fluid writing.

How does Direct Instruction Work?

Introducing Mat Man

Make the transition to readiness seamless, with everyone’s favorite buildable friend—Mat Man. Made from Wood Pieces and the blue Mat, Mat Man embodies Handwriting Without Tears' unique approach to multisensory learning. Students learn crucial readiness skills, including size recognition, placement, and sequence skills.

Wet-Dry-Try's game-based format mirrors the hands-on experience of writing on our Slate Chalkboard and Blackboard with Double Lines.

Manipulatives and Multisensory Strategies
