  • "The teachers can't believe how quickly the kids caught on."

  • "I simply love SMHP, and how it's helped my students, THAT much! The ship has NEVER sailed for letter/number, line orientation and spacing for handwriting legibility.  Try the *evidence-based* Size Matters Handwriting Program. I've been using it for 3+ years now with much success. It's SO simple and intuitive, that I could do it in the soil with a stick (if I had to), and get results! There's even fun to it that facilitates student buy-in!"

  • "I just have to tell you, I've been using parts of the program for the last week with most of my students in Occupational Therapy Services. I have the biggest smile and feel like jumping for JOY when I write my notes. Most of my students can pick up on the easy/fun instructions. Almost all the letter spacing has improved with Spaghetti and Meatballs. Almost all the letter size has improved with the Size Numbering 1,2,3. IT'S A MIRACLE. Thanks a MILLION."

  • "I have used the SMHP during (the) last school year and I love it! And most importantly the kids love it! I have had so much success with this program with all of my kids, but one in particular comes to mind. I had tried everything from different paper to grips with no success. The very first time I introduced this to them most of their letters were inside the boxes!"

    Brittany Morel, COTA

  • "The SMHP is the first program I have implemented that the kids are actually EXCITED to try and practice making letters....Teachers pick up on the terminology quickly and generally I find they are supportive to use consistent language etc... As a therapist it’s the first handwriting program that I have ever been passionate about! Highly recommend to all...thank you Beverly Moskowitz!!"
