Not cursive lettering. Avoid if in the UK

The fonts to practice with are not cursive.

Needs to include continuous cursive option

Increasingly, pupils learning their first letters are being taught to use entry and exit flicks from the beginning of learning handwriting. This is a highly efficient method of teaching writing and supports the teaching of spelling, since children who are familiar with entry and exit flicks may progress naturally from separate to joined letters and are more likely to be able to read cursive writing if they are already familiar with the formation of individual letters that are joined within words.

It would be more helpful to have an option that teaches entry and exit flicks for writing, with each lower-case letter beginning with an entry flick on the base line, and each exit flick indicating the point at which the whole letter is complete, whether it be on and then up from the first or base line (e.g. for /a/) and a slightly dipped horizontal exit flick that touches the first guide line above the base line, as in for /o/.

Not great

Attempted to use this by following the dots in the letters but the dots would disappear and no matter how many attempts you made the letters wouldn’t form. There was no point keeping the app.

Thank you for this honest feedback. We are sorry you are having trouble with the app. It is well-noted and has been added to our inspiration bank.

A lovely app but…

A really well put together app but my daughter and I found it really frustrating trying to draw the letters and numbers to the exact pattern as the green dots. It was very temperamental and both us got fed up with it. It would be better if you just allowed us to draw using a simple black pencil line without needing to follow the perfect formation.
