A great app for handwriting and spelling words!
Community Review for iTrace - handwriting for kids
My Take
It is a great app that I have used in my spelling instruction. It also is great for individual handwriting practice. I have had students use this app at home for spelling word practice as well. My suggestion to do more with it would be to have all the letters available to spell any words not just the programmed words. It has been engaging for my students who use this regularly. It allows for differentiation to happen in an accessible manner.
How I Use It
I use this app in my classroom with a special needs child that has difficulty with fine motor
skills and handwriting is difficult. This app allows this student to practice handwriting letters in a modified way to fit her needs. I also use this app to have her practice her spelling words with the other students in the class. While other students are practicing on white boards she is using this app for the weekly words I programmed into it at the same time. With some of my kids that are below grade level in literacy this has been helpful for letter formation and identification.
