Likes: Wow! This book and method of teaching literally stopped me from crying over my then 6-yr-old son who refused to write. I was able to teach their method-- and he finally understood! My then 5-yr-old came along and soon was writing better than my son. They continue to use the paper for all of our handwriting practice. A lot of support is available through the company if you desire it.

Dislikes: The fact that the paper is different (though that is part of what makes the program work) so you can only buy it from the company or Rainbow Resource, so it is definitely more pricey than tablets in the store.
