LETTER FROM TERRY NEALON, CEO

Each new school year brings fresh challenges. When students returned to classrooms in 2021, we had to make sure educators were supported with great content and applications, immediate support in remote classrooms, and access to technology that would help the “new” classroom and a world-class implementation.

The pandemic's toll on student reading proficiency across the country has raised the bar for remediation efforts.

We've seen it in the results of surveys and research, but also directly, through conversations with teachers and students that use our programs each day. There is a desperate need to get students back on track for literacy success.

I am delighted with how Learning Without Tears has stepped up to meet this challenge by expanding our commitment to provide solutions that strengthen early literacy skills. Our programs and solutions have always been designed to help students develop foundational literacy skills that last a lifetime (See our Literacy Connections, p. 6). Over the past 40 years, programs like Handwriting Without Tears (p. 34) and Get Set for School (p. 76) have helped millions of students graduate from the mechanics of handwriting to embrace literacy.

And in the past year, we have launched two new early literacy programs—A–Z for Mat Man and Me (p.

24) and Phonics, Reading, and Me, (p. 12) that work together to develop crucial literacy skills like alphabet knowledge and phonemic awareness. These new programs, and our existing lineup, feature digital components and a platform that ensures students can access quality material, no matter where they are learning. Teachers can assign work remotely and easily, track student progress in real-time, and provide students with personalized assignments that help them meet their unique needs. That’s not all—coming in January, Keyboarding Without Tears (p. 96) will introduce a new Assessment Accelerator module that helps students hone online test-taking skills.

None of these efforts could be supported without a strong, central pillar. And supporting everything that we do is our Professional Learning team (p. 100). Our facilitators have added new workshops—virtual, in-person, and on-demand—that help educators get the training they need for best-in-class early literacy instruction.

Educators, occupational therapists, families, and especially students have endured much in the wake of the pandemic, and we are still dealing with the fallout. A solid foundation is more important than ever, and we will remain steadfast in our support for you and your tireless efforts to help all students succeed.

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, LWT has 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 all students build foundational skills with confidence, leading to lifelong success.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

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

The path to literacy spirals out from this subtle movement—when a child's scribbling becomes language. They will discover 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 acquire and graduate from the mechanics of writing and reading to fully embrace literacy and discover new worlds of learning.

LWTears.com/Catalog | 888.952.4968

Imaginative Emergent Writing Experiences Every beginning is delicate. The rapid learning that happens in Pre-K prepares children for the beginning of their learning journeys. Before deep concepts like literacy can take root, children first need to participate and explore their new roles within classrooms.

Pre-K classrooms should inspire joyful, child-friendly experiences powered by imagination, independence, and active involvement. Play-based techniques and multisensory activities help children become active participants in their education.

Deliberate, Systematic Instruction Before any skill can be learned, it must be practiced and repeated.

Ensuring the mastery of one skill before introducing another builds the competence and confidence children need for independent problemsolving. Skills that will plant the seeds of literacy, like Emergent Writing, should be imparted developmentally, deliberately, and with care.

A Balanced Curriculum Effective Pre-K literacy programs include balanced curricula that address emerging literacy skills with social-emotional experiences that are developmentally appropriate. These literacy skills begin emerging as they acquire and grow more confident with using the components of oral language. Research shows that a student's vocabulary knowledge predominantly predicts their literacy achievement. But reinforcing a strong vocabulary doesn't need to involve rote memorization. Song, play, and multisensory learning can be incorporated to build a strong, memorable Pre-K learning experience.

Our earliest programs for students help them develop the foundational skills they need to begin to express themselves. Through child-friendly, engaging lessons, they will learn letter formations and take their first steps in emergent writing. They’ll also learn correct posture, social skills, and begin to understand letter sounds.

Professional Learning Only a trained, effective teacher can provide a solid foundation for early learning. Learn from our early literacy workshops, featuring recognized experts, such as Heidi Anne Mesmer, Ph.D., and Deborah K. Reed, Ph.D., with strategies you can use to effectively support alphabet instruction and oral language skills.

By the time students learn their letters, they are ready to begin phonics instruction. In fact, by learning letters and their associated sounds, they have already begun the journey through phonics that will lead them straight into reading.

Learning phonics can be challenging. But the path to reading mastery is made easier by learning the right skills. To make progress, students must grapple with texts that introduce new concepts, introduce complex vocabulary, and help them practice decoding new words and analyzing word parts.

Programs built with differentiation can be tailored to meet the varied learning rates of students and prioritize the phonics skills they are struggling with.

Allowing students enough time to master the trickiest phonemic twists and turns will ensure their unique journeys to reading are successful.

8

Content-Rich, Connected Text Effective phonics instruction demands systematic and explicit teaching–but should not invite boredom. Each lesson sparks joy as students explore content-rich texts that teach phonics skills in the context of reading. Repeated exposure to phonics skills through connected text helps strengthen new skills and reinforce prior skills, leading to reading comprehension.

IF NEEDED -----------------------Articulation Support Support phoneme articulation by addressing 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.

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE • Sheep are animals that have a lot of hair or wool on their bodies.

Some sheep need to have this hair taken off so they don’t get too hot in the summer.

• Inflatable inner tubes are water toys.

• Sand can be very hot at a beach in summer or at a tropical location.

LANGUAGE • Sheep is a word that is both singular (one sheep) and plural (three sheep).

• The word whee can be said when someone sees or does something fun.

• In this story, belong means something is in the right place, like children belong at school.

• The sound of a car’s horn is written as beep.

• “That is neat!” means that someone really likes something. Neat also means clean.

DURING READING

• Set children up for listening. Say: Listen to find out where Lola finds the key to her lock.

• Read the story all the way through, pausing only to show the pictures on each page.

• Ask: Where did Lola find the key to her lock? (in the laundry)

Lola loses the key to her lock, she can’t unlock the box that holds her special things. We see many Ll words as we learn about Lola looking for the key.

Warm Up with Phonemic Awareness

Introduce the Let ter Name and Form the Let ter

• 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.

• Tell children that you are going to read the book two times.

The first time, children will listen to the story. The second time, children will go back to each page for letter learning.

Meaning Making

• Set children up to interact with each page as you reread the book.

• 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.

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.
