With what programs is the Print Tool associated?

• A. Handwriting Without Tears
• B. Orton-Gillingham
• C. Wilson Reading System
• D. Phoenician alphabet

Answer: (A)

The Print Tool is a handwriting assessment designed to accompany Handwriting Without Tears. It measures how well a child prints letters—focusing on formation, size, spacing, alignment, and overall legibility—and provides a way to track progress as the Handwriting Without Tears program is taught. This pairing makes sense because the tool is built to evaluate the specific skills taught by that handwriting curriculum, giving teachers a practical means to monitor improvement and identify areas needing extra practice. In contrast, the other options are reading-focused programs—Orton-Gillingham and the Wilson Reading System—whose emphasis is on decoding and spelling rather than handwriting assessment. The Phoenician alphabet isn’t a contemporary program but an ancient script, so it isn’t associated with a modern handwriting tool.
