**Handwriting for Kids - This website provides printable guides for children learning to print or write cursive. The handwriting program provided at this site is 'traditional', but can be used in any program. If you are looking for an inexpensive solution, this site is a great resource, however it does not provide materials specific to teaching a child who is having difficulty with letter and number formation.

**Handwriting Help for Kids - programs which provide visual and verbal strategies for learning handwriting. Children "swim, surf, and sail" their way through learning cursive writing. This program is a great way to allow a child to have fun while learning to write.

**Handwriting Without Tears - This is the program we used. With the use of this program, my child who HATES writing said that Cursive Writing was his favorite subject. Handwriting Without Tears is simple and very easy to follow. The directions are clear and the children can easily determine what to do as well. They have a cutsie bunny you can get, but we didn't and I don't think it is necessary. Handwriting Without Tears is successful because it simplifies the writing process to build on basic pencil strokes in order to form letters, and the program keeps writing simple.

**Audiblox - A program that addresses some of the underlying issues that contribute to dysgraphia. While this is not a 'handwriting' program, many of the skill deficits addressed through the program can help make a child's writing more legible. This program will help with sequential planning (as needed in spelling), letter size, letter spacing, focus, etc.
