Version History of Touch and Write

5.0

October 26, 2021

Updated for latest iOS.

4.3

December 30, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Fixes bug that prevented Directions from displaying. In addition, more phonics sounds options - alphabet button now allows letter sounds in addition to letter names! We created a database of all the words your child is ever likely to encounter in school - a database of 80,000 words - and coded in the phonics values for each letter. This allows children to create virtually unlimited personalized word lists and listen to the phonics SOUND of each letter - rather than just the letter name.

Now includes phonics database of 80,000 words! We created a database of all the words your child is ever likely to encounter in school - and coded in the phonics values for each letter. This allows children to create virtually unlimited personalized word lists and listen to the phonics SOUND of each letter - rather than just the letter name. We also listened to suggestions from parents of children with special needs and added an "Extremely Lenient" setting. This limits error notifications in order to reduce the frustration of children with limited fine motor dexterity.

Yesterday an Occupational Therapist wrote us: "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." -- Coming up soon: We have received many requests for a button to allow children to repeat or skip over a word. We hear you loud and clear, and should have this update out shortly! Also, thanks for the tip on capital T - we will fix it! AND we will be adding black paper for visually impaired children. Thanks for all your input! In the meantime, we also had requests for more word families, so we have added the –ap and –op family, as well as a brighter, more colorful icon that matches the app's color scheme! Previous updates: Version 1.1 fixed a bug that caused a crash on some devices (thanks for the heads up!) and added two word families: the –at and –an family.

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 FizzBrain featured on CBS's "60 Minutes"!

Reviews of Touch and Write

Leave a Review Touch and Write
  • Buggy, therefore useless!

    Paid 4.99 for something that clearly hasn’t been tested and also noted in reviews of other Touch and Write apps. No matter how careful one writes, you’re forced to restart. Leniency mode does nothing, can’t finish a single letter.
  • Fun and very helpful!

    I had low expectations because of the lack of and age of reviews, but I’m glad I tried it. This app is fantastic, I love that I can easily add custom lists. My son loves to play it, all the writing tools to choose from is fun. It also guides to make sure the letters are being written properly, it will stop and have you start over. Must-have for anyone with young kids learning to write.

  • Great app!

    I love this app & the cursive one! I am an OT & use these apps all the time with my kids. The app is very engaging & multi-sensory. I really like the fact that you can add your own word list & customize it. The only thing I would change is that I wish the lines on the dotted lined background would be colored accordingly; the top line-green, dotted line-blue & the bottom line- red. The kids LoVe it!
