KEYBOARDING

Our journey started more than 40 years ago 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 company of teachers, literacy specialists, occupational therapists, and digital experts from all over the world. We create essential solutions that work across curricula and integrate with today’s classrooms.

Our approach is all about joyful learning.

NEW Building Writers: Cornerstones™ Our newest offering, Building Writers: Cornerstones fills the gaps in K–3 students’ grammar and writing skills.

Where Research Meets Real Classrooms At Learning Without Tears, we know that programs based on a solid research foundation in the Science of Reading and the Science of Writing help students attain literacy proficiency. That's why our programs draw from both highly effective researchbased practices and real-world classrooms, helping all students achieve reading and writing success.

Learning and practicing reading and writing skills simultaneously is crucial because these processes are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. In service of students learning early literacy, our programs make it easy for teachers to “braid” these explicit, systematic skills together in support of comprehensive reading and writing success.

Learn more about the research behind our programs

LWTears.com/research-center

Foundational reading skills taught in an explicit, systematic way are essential for developing the ability to read. As illustrated by Scarborough’s Reading Rope, we see how intertwined strands are crucial for proficient reading.

Neuman, S.B., & Dickinson, D.K. (Eds.). (2001). Handbook of Early Literacy Research. New York: Guilford Press. See Chapter 8: Scarborough, H.S. “Connecting Early Language and Literacy to Later Reading (Dis)abilities: Evidence, Theory, and Practice.”

Sedita, J. (2022). The Writing Rope: A Framework for Explicit Writing Instruction in All Subjects. Paul H. Brookes Publishing. This reference to “The Writing Rope” is solely to the book authored

Our Research-Based Approach

Foundational writing skills taught in an explicit, systematic manner are critical for structuring text and constructing sentences proficiently. Adapted from Joan Sedita’s The Writing Rope™ framework, we clearly see how the key components of writing instruction work together.

INTRODUCTION

Teaching reading and writing skills together is most effective, as strong reading supports better writing, and writing practice enhances reading abilities, leading to comprehensive literacy development.

HANDWRITING

Our Teacher’s Guides are designed to minimize teacher prep. Everything you need is on the physical or digital lesson page. Lessons provide explicit handwriting instruction to make it easy for new teachers.

Narrative Writing Construct a story with children, building off: Hayden has a huge helicopter. Add: He traveled to the ocean in his helicopter. Invite students to come up with sentences that tell what Hayden did at the ocean and to write an ending, such as He had a great day! Review the beginning, middle, and end.

T36

KNOWLEDGE BUILDING Science: How Things Work Share a few facts about helicopters: Helicopters are smaller than planes and need less space to take off and land. They can go straight up in the air and hover.

They have propellers that spin, and they are slower than planes. Ask: When would a helicopter be useful?

Pairs can discuss.

Close the gaps in K–3 students’ grammar and writing skills. ense Verbs Write t: Past-T Look at the

Too often students are expected to write at length before they’ve understood the basics of writing correct sentences—an essential foundation for all types of writing.

Building Writers: Cornerstones addresses that critical need through explicit writing instruction that brings children along from oral language and written words in kindergarten to coherent paragraphs in Grade 3.

“Our kindergarten and Grade 2 teachers implemented[Building Writers: Cornerstones this year and immediately recognized its impact. The program filled a noticeable gap in our curriculum by providing explicit instruction in foundational writing skills—something both necessary and previously missing.”

Building Writers: Cornerstones 39

Building Writers: Cornerstones Every Lesson Reinforces a Writing Routine

Lesson 12: Question Sentences with Who and What Objective: Identify the structure of who and what questions, including verbs and punctuation.

EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION

1. Modeling

Explicitly introduce new concepts and show them in action.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

10–15 minutes

Modeling

Plan It, p. 26

• Review Play “A Sentence Says It All!” to review the parts of a sentence. Have students sing along.

• Read the directions. Model completing the first item.

Show how to write Who for the first one, since the vet is a person. Students trace the W.

• Display the Sentence Builder for Lesson 12 that includes these model interrogative sentences.

Who are helpers?

What is this tool?

• Say: We use who to ask a question about a person and what to ask about a thing or idea.

• Have students decide on the question word for the next three. They should ask what the picture is about and choose the word from the bank that fits.

• Check as students choose and write each word.

Plan t: Who and What Questions Write Who or What for each picture.

Who

• Read one sentence aloud and highlight the question word. Point out Who or What comes at the beginning of a question sentence. A verb and noun follow, with or without an article before the noun.

• Model answering the first question orally, such as Police officers are helpers or Doctors are helpers. Point out that we use parts of the question to answer.

• Continue discussing more models with who and what.

Experiment with concepts, then express ideas in words and sentences.

Guided Practice • Invite students to build who and what questions with you using the Sentence Builder.

• Display a picture for students to think about and decide whether to use Who or What to fill in the blank. As needed, recall the purpose of each word. is helping the dog? is this tool a doctor uses? can put out a fire?

• Point out that we use is or are before a verb that ends with -ing to show an action happening now.

• Build more questions using the Sentence Builder or invite students to ask other verbal questions about things they wonder about. Discuss possible answers together.

26

What

Who

What

What

Who

• Explain that we use is when the noun is singular (only one) and are when the noun is plural (more than one).

Note that helpers is the noun that who asks about.

2. Guided Practice

10–15 minutes

© 2027 Learning Without Tears

Lesson 12: Question Sentences with Who and What

Write It, p. 27 • Read the words in the bank together. Explain that each choice has a question word and a verb.

• Complete the first item together. Look at the picture and decide on the question to ask. Point to the question mark. Students can use it as a model.

• Ask students to complete the page, doing their best to read and write each sentence on their own.

Write t: Who and What Questions Complete each sentence. Add question marks.

What is

Who is

Who are

Who is this?

Lesson 12: Question Sentences with Who and What

OPTIONAL SUPPORT Multilingual Learners In Spanish, we know right away if a question is a sentence since punctuation comes at the start of the sentence. Show a question in Spanish beginning with an upside-down question mark. Compare to English, where there is only one end punctuation mark.

Letters & Literacy™

Combines emergent writing with new phonological awareness activities

Help your children’s letter sounds and formations grow side by side.

When children write, they discover that letters become words and words carry meaning. These early breakthroughs build confidence and spark a love of learning. Yet many children enter kindergarten without these essential skills.

Letters & Literacy seamlessly helps you teach phonological awareness, emergent writing, and fine-motor skills together, all rooted in the Science of Reading.

Pre-K and TK children learn these connected skills experientially through lessons, activities, and games that engage their hearts, minds, and bodies.

Letters & Literacy Bringing Sounds, Letters, and Writing Together The Letters & Literacy Teacher's Guide provides step-by-step instructions for active, effective lessons that make literacy learning come alive. Using playful, movement-based activities, each lesson builds phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, and emergent writing skills—helping children gain confidence and lifelong reading and writing success.

Peek Inside the Teacher's Guide: Making Literacy Learning Playful Sound-based games make early literacy fun, active, and memorable. As children practice listening and sound play, they recognize that words are made of smaller sounds, the first step toward decoding.

Phonological Awareness Grouping: Small Group and Whole Group Materials: Familiar nursery rhymes

WARM-UP: Sing “Rhyming Riddles” from IDTT Resources.

EARLY

EMERGING

Objective: Repeat rhyming words in nursery rhymes.

Objective: Identify rhyming words in nursery rhymes.

1. Follow EMERGING Steps 1–3.

2. Recite the nursery rhyme again and pause on each rhyming pair. Have children say the rhyming word with you.

3. Recite other familiar nursery rhymes inviting children to say the rhyming pairs with you.

✔ Check: Observe if children can repeat the missing rhyming word.

1. We are going to listen for words that rhyme in familiar nursery rhymes! Rhyming words sound the same at the end like small and tall. Ask children to repeat the words.

2. Read aloud a familiar nursery rhyme (e.g., Humpty Dumpty) emphasizing rhyming pairs.

3. Say the following rhyming pair from the nursery rhyme. Invite children to give a thumbs up if they rhyme or thumbs down if they do not. wall/fall, men/again, Humpty/Dumpty, horse/ men, king/great.

4. Repeat with other familiar nursery rhymes as time permits

✔ Check: Observe if children can identify rhyming words.

Build Fine-Motor and Letter Formation Skills While practicing capital and lowercase forms, children strengthen the link between how letters look, sound, and feel, building a strong foundation for reading and writing.

Alphabet Knowledge Grouping: Small Group Materials: A-B-C Touch & Flip Cards, i, Pre-K Color Wall Cards, Sound Around Box, Pre-K Name Plates, Alphabet Chart

WARM-UP: Sing the “Alphabet Song” from IDTT Resources. Model pointing to each letter.

EARLY

EMERGING

Objective: Recognize letter  in the alphabet and names.

Objective: Recognize and name letter i, exemplar word and short sound.

1. Follow EMERGING Steps 1–2.

1. Display Pre-K Color Wall Card i. Say: This is the letter i. It makes the sound /i/ like in iguana. Say the letter name and ask children to repeat after you.

Show a wall card and point out the exemplar word and the short sound.

2. Use A-B-C Touch & Flip Cards and have them trace the letter  and say the letter name.

3. Write the name AN. Point to the capital  in the name.

4. Display or distribute other names from the class. Invite children to locate and say the letter  or i in the names.

✔ Check: Observe if children can identify

the letter  in names.

Support for Multilingual Learners Extra support helps learners understand the language in the lesson.

2. Build the letter  with Wood Pieces on the Sound Around Box while saying the formation language (Big Line down, Little Line across the top, Little Line across the bottom).

3. Display a Pre-K Name Plate with the letter i in it. Invite children to find the letter i.

4. Distribute Pre-K Name Plates. Invite children to locate the letter i in the names. Ask children to discuss what their findings by identifying the names that have an i, where the i is located in the name, and is it capital or lowercase.

✔ Check: Observe if children can identify the letter i in names, not just in isolation.

Learn about how animals hunt for their prey and what adaptations help them do this.

Adapted from this Indian tale, a group of hawks enlist the help of a friendly lion to scare away hunters and keep the animals safe.

A nature writer describes how the gray wolf will travel for miles and miles, hunting for prey.

Some animal hunters blend in with their surroundings. This camouflage allows them to easily hide while hunting prey.

A girl and her mother learn all about predators and prey while observing animals on an African safari.
