Pencil Power Group

Pencil Power is a 6-week small group program designed to help build strong handwriting foundations in a fun and supportive environment.

Using the evidence-based Handwriting Without Tears and Printing Like a Pro programs, children will strengthen fine motor skills, learn efficient letter formations, and develop early page organization skills such as letter sizing, spacing, and alignment. Through engaging, hands-on, and multi-sensory activities, participants will build confidence in their handwriting abilities while developing skills that support success in the classroom.

This group is designed for children entering grades 1–2 who would like to build strong handwriting foundations and improve the legibility of their written work.
