A fun way to practice printing letters and words. You can either use the words programmed into the app, or add your own. The app allows the child the freedom to choose his/her writing "utensil" and paper background. The one thing I don't like about it is that when an error is made in formation, it does not make the child begin again from the starting point. This can make the letter look incorrectly formed.

This is a good practice app for letter/number formation and words. It has many ways to customize, including writing papers, textures, high frequency word lists, and self-made word lists. Even students who really dislike writing enjoy practicing writing with all the different textures and papers!

Touch and Write This is app is perfect for children just learning to write, or for those requiring OT. The fun choice of paper and choices to write with, make it so engaging that it is not a chore! Touch and write offers writing guidelines, so that children do not stray too far outside the lines, in the form of a monster that eats up cupcakes. Your child can trace and hear lower and upper case letters, numbers, two High Frequency Word Lists, plus it is customizable.

Thanks for this great app." - Speech Therapist in California ✩✩✩✩✩ "I just wanted to tell you about my session with my student today using 'Touch and Write.' He is a kindergarten student... he resists writing and acts out to avoid it. Today I showed him the 'Touch and Write' program... he was totally attentive for 30 minutes, quickly learned to move between the different writing textures and understood the use of the 'little monster' to make the letter correctly." – Teacher ✩✩✩✩✩ "The k and 1st grade kids are really engaged! One of them worked for 15 minutes - the most we have seen him do in weeks." - Teacher
