WE START WITH A LINE BUILDING FOUNDATIONS FOR LITERACY

LETTER FROM TERRY NEALON, CEO

Like you, we have been closely following the impact of the pandemic on students. While some of the most startling data paints a bleak picture for some of our youngest learners, there is hope in the heartening stories that we continually hear from classrooms across the country. Teachers are demonstrating their resilience, rising to meet the challenges ahead.

But one thing remains starkly clear to all—students need foundational literacy skills now more than ever before. And our programs are uniquely positioned to build them. Because from the moment a student writes their first letter all the way to fluent reading, we are right there with them, providing the support they need to strengthen these crucial skills.

Since it was first introduced more than 40 years ago, Handwriting Without Tears (p. 38) has emerged as the world leader in handwriting instruction, helping all students learn this key skill developmentally. We’ve taken this fundamental approach to each program we create, making it the core of what we do.

That's why we are thrilled that teachers and students have gotten to know A–Z for Mat Man and Me (p. 28) last year, and were introduced to Phonics, Reading, and Me (p. 12) last fall. This innovative new K–3 reading program is the latest in our growing portfolio that builds foundational literacy skills based on the science of reading. To address the inequities teachers are facing today, we've developed a digital solution that amplifies their ability to keep all students on track for success through personalized pathing.

Get Set for School (p. 80) users can now make assessments much more manageable with digital progress monitoring on our new platform—Assessments to Guide Instruction. The assessments that teachers already are familiar with have been expanded to cover all learning domains, with results that can be tracked in one digital ecosystem.

New enhancements were also added to the award-winning Keyboarding Without Tears (p. 102). Several new activities will help students in grades 3–5 practice common online testing questions, honing skills that are required on standard assessments across the country.

Of course, to best position students for success, educators need to be positioned for growth. Our Professional Learning (p. 106) offerings are our strong, central pillar. In this catalog you'll find an in-depth overview of our workshops, each driven by a wealth of experience. These learning opportunities build the capacity of your teams to do the great work they’re so passionate about and ensure that you make the most of your investment with our programs.

Educators, families, occupational therapists, and yes, students have stepped up to meet the challenges ahead, and I hope throughout this catalog, you’ll see that we are alongside you all. Thank you for all that you do for students, and please know that our support for you remains as steadfast as ever.

Thank you,

Terry Nealon CEO, Learning Without Tears

The Learning Without Tears Story

Our journey started at the kitchen table of a mom whose son was struggling with handwriting. Jan Olsen, an occupational therapist, developed a revolutionary new approach to handwriting that has helped millions of students.

Since then, we’ve grown from one passionate entrepreneur to a team of hundreds. That innovation continues through our work today. After more than 40 years, we remain a family owned education company dedicated to our mission—to help students build foundational skills with confidence, leading to lifelong success.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

WE START WITH A LINE. It's the most fundamental expression of language. Then, the magic happens! With one simple stroke, the line transforms into a letter.

The path to literacy spirals out from this subtle movement—when a child´s scribbling becomes language. They will discover that this letter has a sound, which fuses into words, which cohere into sentences, and eventually, into the stories from which they can learn and confidently share their thoughts.

6

All students share this powerful experience with learning. And it all starts with a line.

Learning Without Tears is where the joy of teaching meets the joy of learning. We have spent more than 40 years designing instructional methods for student success.

Our programs specialize in helping students graduate from the mechanics of writing and reading skills to fully embracing literacy and discovering new worlds of learning.

LWTears.com/Catalog | 888.952.4968

Instruction Based on the Science of Reading All students can successfully attain reading proficiency by beginning with strong foundations based on research.

Language Knowledge

Verbal Reasoning Literacy Knowledge

Phonological Awareness

Decoding

Sight Recognition

Scarborough’s Rope visualizes the intertwining relationship between language comprehension and word recognition. As students hone their skills in vocabulary, language structures, and phonological awareness, they create the foundational guiding strands that lead to skilled reading.

LWTears.com/Catalog | 888.952.4968

7

From learning to grip a pencil all the way to reading comprehension, each new skill is a stepping stone on the path to literacy.

Learning Without Tears programs work in concert to help students from Pre-K through Grade 5 master foundational skills that transform letters into meaning. You’ll find this connection to literacy deeply interwoven in our books, our songs, our teacher support— and yes, even Mat Man! And with each facet, students experience a new perspective on language, leading them to become joyful participants in their pursuit of lifelong literacy success.

Handwriting is one of the foundational skills that leads students toward automatic word recognition. In Handwriting Without Tears, students learn to write their names and write letters beyond their names—each of which are markers of emergent literacy skills, preparing them to become readers.

The science of reading research tells us that students develop into proficient readers when they receive systematic and explicit instruction.

In A–Z for Mat Man and Me, students get both. Teachers use direct instruction for explicitly correlating letter sounds and symbols, and children build routines for learning each letter.

Sounds, Letters, and Connections It’s the moment that inspires and humbles every educator–when a child makes the connection between a line they draw, a sound they speak, and the name of a letter. In that moment, a whole new world of possibilities opens and, with systematic and explicit instruction of letter/sound relationships, the path to reading unfolds.

In A–Z for Mat Man and Me, Mat Man, a lovable character that has helped millions of children learn to form letters, now introduces them to reading. His engaging A–Z storybook series, with diverse characters and settings, builds alphabet knowledge through connected text, oral language development, phonemic awareness, and word recognition skills. Differentiation strategies support children where they are on the developmental learning continuum and engaging, multi-modal digital learning activities provide essential practice and skill reinforcement.

Our new supplemental phonics program, Phonics, Reading, and Me, formulated on the Science of Reading, teaches targeted, high-utility skills in the context of reading with carefully crafted decodable text that enables all children to master the skills they need to become proficient readers. Learning is fostered through an integrated print/digital instructional model that builds on previously taught skills.

Each lesson is anchored in small group

Phonics, Reading, and Me

Decodable Text • Connected texts closely align to the lesson skills

Phonics Support that Fits Phonics, Reading, and Me was developed by a renowned team of educators to provide succinct lessons that teach phonics in a meaningful context.

Engaging texts are the centerpiece and the instructional design invites joyful interactions, so students develop oral language as they read.

Students in K–3 need explicit, systematic instruction that follows a scope and sequence.

With an intentional progression of skills, learners move from the known to the new, allowing them to build on basic skills as they take on more complex ones.

• Rich, relatable text topics, with habits and knowledge building • 80% decodable; extensive exposure to primary skill • 5 decodable texts in every lesson Small-Group Learning • Teachers use data for flexible groupings to help children with like needs learn collaboratively

Phonics, Reading, and Me focuses on the skills young readers and writers need most, so that small group time is efficient and effective.

IF NEEDED --------------------------------------------Blending Support For groups who need extra practice, select and write these words on a whiteboard: bet, beat, feed, fed, leaf, heat. If children are having difficulty reading the words, model stretching out any sounds that are continuous (e.g., m, f, sh) to model how to smoothly blend the sounds together (e.g., /lll/ /ēēē/ /f).

Prepare to Read ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Review words, concepts, and other text complexities of the book to anticipate children’s challenges. Consider the oral language proficiency, background knowledge, and decoding skills of each small group.

WORDS TO WATCH IN THE STUDENT BOOK

are provided to help make the early reading process a seamless experience.

Time-saving Support

helps teachers anticipate challenges to students’ reading in every book.

Primary Skill Words

Knowledge Building Words

bleat: a sound that sheep and goats make group: a number of things, people, or animals that are together sheep: animals that have a lot of wool (a kind of hair) on their bodies

IF NEEDED -----------------------Articulation Support Support phoneme articulation by modeling how your lips and tongue are used to produce the sound. With the long e sound, your mouth forms the widest smile compared to all other vowel sounds. Show children.

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE • Sheep often need to have their wool sheared. Having their hair taken off means they don’t get too hot in the summer.

Set the Purpose

Guide children to read in pairs, helping each other read long e words.

Listen and prompt children as you observe their reading of long e words.

Divide the group. Half reads as the first sheep; the other half reads as the second sheep.

Check for Comprehension: What is an event at the end that changes one of the sheep? (He gets his wool cut.)

IF NEEDED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Decoding Support If a child is not yet able to decode a word with ee or ea: • Say words together to point out the difference between short e and long e.

Examples: met/meet, net/neat, bet/bleat, fed/feed • Reinforce that the long e sound can be spelled different ways. Find words in the book to show that ee and ea come in the middle (sheep, please) or end of words (see, sea).

• Model sound-by-sound blending, such as /sh/ /ē/ /p/, sheep.

• Model onset-rime blending, such as /b/-each, beach.

• Show the book cover, in print or the digital version .

• Have children find each capital L. Read the title, Lola and the Lock, and repeat the beginning sounds to model that L stands for the /l/ sound.

• Read aloud the introduction. Trace capital L and lowercase l, using formation language as you model. Children can air trace or trace in their own books.

• Talk about names that start with L, like Lola and Lewis.

Set the Purpose

• Go to p. 3. Point to the lock picture. Remind children that you use a lock to keep other people from opening something.

• Have children say the word lock with you. Say: Whenever you hear the word lock, think of the /l/ sound that stands for l.

• Say: This time, listen and look for words that begin with the letter Ll. Emerging Readers

Developing Readers

• Have children listen and follow as you read.

• Children can make an L shape with their left hand every time they hear or see an Ll word.

Stop to find words that begin with Ll. • Use these prompts as models. Say: o p. 6: Find two words that start with a lowercase l on these pages. Say them with me. (lock, large) o p. 8: There are two Ll words on this page. One has a capital L and one has a lowercase l. Point to the words. Now, say them with me. (Lola, lost) o p. 10: I notice a word with a lowercase l on this page. Can you point to it? This word rhymes with camp. Read it with me. (lamp)

AFTER READING

• Encourage children to read as much of the story as they can on their own.

• Children can search for words that begin with capital L and lowercase l as they read. Invite volunteers to read Ll words they know.

• Use these prompts as models. Say: o p. 4: How many times do you hear the /l/ sound in Lola? (two) Have children find Ll twice in the word, noting both the beginning and middle sounds. o p. 9: There’s a word on this page that looks and sounds like book, but it begins with l.

Cursive Success Student Edition

Can-Do Cursive Student Edition

Cursive Kickoff gives second grade students the option of beginning cursive instruction earlier.

After a quick review of print, lessons progress to teaching cursive letters in developmental groups based on formation.

Third grade students, or those working at that level, easily transition from printing to cursive with cursive warm-ups. Includes activity pages featuring paragraphs, poems, composition, and crosscurricular lessons.

Fourth grade students, or those working at that level, develop cursive fluency with lessons featuring more advanced language arts and crosscurricular activities.

Students master cursive with cross-curricular content, focusing on difficult connections.
