Hello All,

I am wondering if I need to get the 2nd grade Handwriting Without Tears book. We used 1st grade successfully, really like it, like the lines. Does the 2nd grade offer anything new or is it just refinement of 1st grade skills. It seems that 3rd grade is when they start cursive (I am glad to wait for that). So is 2nd grade worth it or should we just do homegrown copywork? Advice, input?

Thanks so much.
-Kara

Hi Kara,
I think it depends on your child. My ds has really struggled with handwriting so we've stayed with HWOT through third grade (his cursive was nicer than his print by the way!). This coming school year I am switching to homegrown copywork, but only because I purchased Startwrite and I can do his in the same HWT font, which he really needs. My other ds doesn't seem to need the HWT font, so we're not going to continue using it for him (he'll be in 1st next year).
