Number Writing Books for TK

“When we launched Transitional Kindergarten (TK) in the district 11 years ago, we got trained in a supplemental curriculum that supports developmentally appropriate letter and number formation. It was called Handwriting Without Tears (now called Learning Without Tears). This year, the District decided not to fund student “consumables” (materials). I have purchased much on my own this year, but was hoping to get support for the number writing books. The number writing book supports number orientation (not writing backward), writing instruction similar to the letter writing practice (big lines, little lines, big curves, little curves) and number sense.

We are half-way through our number writing books and the children are so engaged!”
