I hear Emma singing the catchy tunes. She would write words right-to-left (being a lefty I think)…and the songs would help her.

I realized my son loved saying the words for the letter (ez-across, down the slide, etc.). They seemed very easy for him to remember. It definitely helped him remember how to make the letters.”

Our child had a problem with reversing her letters and numbers. Since she has started this program, she rarely reverses letters or numbers anymore. Her handwriting is much neater and more controlled looking. Handwriting has always been hard for her, she seems to have more confidence in herself now.”

While I have no experience with other handwriting programs, I can relay that the ez Write program has been wonderful for my child. The 8 basic strokes are easy for the child AND the parents to figure out which strokes make up each letter and number.

I found the ‘strokes’ to be very simple to implement and remember for Sigrid – wonderful for a child’s graphmotor functions! The ez Write program breaks down step by step each stroke into manageable movements! I also really appreciated the ‘cues’ given – wonderful triggers!

Aaron could focus on the word itself, sounding it out, breaking it apart to say it right. He also could focus on the correct spelling. When he got all of that down, he could improve on his penmanship. Don’t ever switch back to D’Nealian PLEASE. It’s awesome – perfect!

I had so much fun with my daughter, this past year especially as she would see the different strokes around her world. ‘Mom, there’s a C-stroke!’, ‘there’s a U-turn,’ etc. And I’m excited that she will enter kindergarten already knowing the program. She’s already taken her first step!

I never overheard my older child (D’Nealian student) actually saying any of the word clues (like ‘tail’) when making her letters. But – I have frequently overheard my daughter saying the ez Write word clues when making letters. I am even using the word clues with my 2 year old! The ez Write clues seemed to have ‘clicked’ more. I also think the use of the house has helped – with some of the lower case letters going ‘into the basement.

Michael had already struggled in preschool and kindergarten. After Michael started 1st grade, his teacher suggested that he start the program. His writing improved and he could write faster. He also stopped fighting us when he had to write. The program has been a very positive learning method and Michael has improved tremendously.

This writing program makes perfect sense. It is so much easier for children to recognize letters as they are learning to read. Also as a parent we can better explain how a letter begins rather than showing. I wish my 4th grader learned this rather than D’Nealian.

I think it’s a great idea, certainly more fun, so perhaps easier to learn. I heard Grace sometimes say the phrases that go along with the letters like ‘tall line down.’ They are using this at Parker Elementary in the fall – I’m so glad Grace has already been introduced.

I was thrilled with this program. I was concerned for my daughter when it came to learning to write. She was so different from her sisters – she had no interest in writing at all and would only get frustrated when I would try to help her. I had no way to communicate how to exactly start a letter with a curve – now we can say ‘start with the c-stroke.” And ‘down the slide’ is much easier to understand than diagonal. Now, we can’t keep enough paper in the house for her, she is writing all the time. Thank you so much for this program.
