Discover the Future of Handwriting!

Learning Without Tears Group

Learning Without Tears™ was founded in 1977 by Jan Z. Olsen, an occupational therapist. Understanding classroom challenges, Jan collaborated with teachers, OTs, and administrators to build the three programs that comprise the Learning Without Tears curricula: Get Set for School® for kindergarten readiness, Handwriting Without Tears® for K–5, and Keyboarding Without Tears® for K–5. The award-winning programs are research-based and feature developmentally appropriate, multisensory tools, products, and teaching strategies that make learning fun and teaching easy.

Learning Without Tears™ is now revealing brand new editions of all of our teacher’s guides, student workbooks and journals from Handwriting Without Tears— plus a new grade level for transitional kindergarten to evolve with changing classroom stands. Our new editions also include a revolutionary new way to teach handwriting in the digital age.
