Teachers have indicated that difficulty with handwriting often results in lower grades on written assignments, has a negative effect on quality and quantity of student's writing, and influences how long students take to complete written assignments (Graham 2008).
Let Buckhead Handwriting help! Our Handwriting Specialists are certified through the Handwriting Without Tears®
curriculum. We use fun, multisensory activities, music and games to teach the eight components of handwriting: memory, orientation, placement, size, start, sequence, control and spacing.
Mission
To use fun, multisensory tools to teach children the mechanics of handwriting so they become confident and successful students.
About Me
I am a former kindergarten teacher with a degree in Elementary Education from Wake Forest University. I got hooked on Handwriting Without Tears® (HWT) several years ago when my son struggled with writing in kindergarten. He worked with a HWT Handwriting Specialist and the results were amazing!
After just a few months of weekly sessions, his pencil grip improved, his letter formation became standardized and his legibility and control saw big gains. His confidence and self-esteem improved and so did his school work and grades!
My experience with my own son gives me a unique understanding of the challenges faced by children who struggle with handwriting, and my background as a teacher enables me to connect with children in a way that motivates them to learn and work hard to improve their skills. I love to see the pride on a child's face when they succeed and HWT's exciting, multisensory activities make handwriting fun and easy to understand.
