My Take
This is a great app for early learners. One of my favorite parts as a teacher would be the reports piece. It actually plays the recording of the activity done by the user. There is an option for multiple user profiles for easy record keeping. This is a very user-friendly app that I highly recommend! The reports piece allows you to track progress and export a report via email.
How I Use It
I used this app with my 4yr old daughter. This is a great app for practicing early literacy skills with young learners. The audio is included for letter sounds and words. The feedback and direction for letter tracing is awesome! I love how you can add your own word lists for practice and record your own voice.

Very enjoyable for students. They couldn't get enough of the sounds and graphics. They never seemed happier to write their letters.
My overall opinion is this project would be a hood investment. With the level of engagment needing to be incredibly high for early childhood, this takes care of that issue. However, it would need to be used sparingly since it may get old after a while if continued use every day. The kids would benefit greatly because the only practice they get is at school, having the ability to practice more at home would be very helpful.

Letters, Numbers, Words--I Can Write

However, the students just put it down and would come back to it on another day. This app offers another avenue for practicing letter formation with gentle guides to help in their learning.

Writing Wizard is a Great App! Teaches kids letter formation and has setting for customization
A simple app with lots of great settings to help your students with letter formation. Some of my favorite settings are being able to select our Districts handwriting curriculum, in the reports you see a recording of formation strokes and you are able to customize a list of your own words. The students love working on Writing Wizard. Their favorite part is the animation while tracing the letters.
