At Learning Without Tears, we believe every child deserves a strong foundation in literacy. Our evidence-based programs help students develop essential skills from early readiness to handwriting, phonics, and keyboarding, setting them up for lifelong learning.
Educators gain simple, effective tools that make teaching engaging and manageable, while families can extend classroom learning at home. Our Family Catalog offers age-appropriate workbooks, hands-on activities, and multisensory materials designed to meet children wherever they are in their learning journey.
Our programs are carefully designed to support different learning styles. From Handwriting Without Tears, which builds strong reading skills, to Phonics, Reading, and Me, which connects letters and sounds, each tool guides students toward academic success. Keyboarding Without Tears ensures children develop digital literacy skills essential for today’s world, while readiness programs like Get Set for School prepare young learners for kindergarten in joyful, developmentally appropriate ways.
We also empower educators with professional development opportunities, expert insights, and research-based strategies to meet diverse learner needs and close opportunity gaps.
