The Authors

Charles Trafford and Rand Nelson author and publish We Write To Read, a basal series for handwriting instruction widely used in the Northeast since introduced in 1972. Mr. Nelson is also the author of the Peterson web site. It offers a wealth of information on the method, the research and instructional techniques for students, parents, teachers, therapists and administrators.

Peterson Directed Handwriting includes the methods information few teachers are offered as they prepare to teach.

The demand for use of written language is greater today than ever before.  The need to address process instruction in basic skills is again being recognized. A lack of background leaves educators and parents helpless to decide on a program.

This guide offers complete information.

Whatís In A Name?

Peterson Directed Handwriting has been working directly with teachers and students since 1908. The methods have been constantly tested and the results are constantly monitored through our diagnostic evaluation program.

We review at least 300,000 student handwriting samples during each school year. This needs analysis process provides support for the teacher and is also a form of action research. We see results on thousands of student samples at the end of each unit of instruction. In addition, thousands of digital samples have been collected during the past seven years. The instructional sequence provided for each level has been proven effective.
