Pretty Good, with a couple drawbacks
The app is pretty good. My daughter turns 4 next month and has been using it since 6 weeks ago when her school closed. Her teacher recommended it because they learn cursive first in their class. She is enjoys tracing the letters and picking out the sounds. She will go for about 10 minutes, which is the age-appropriate attention span for this kind of thing I believe. Presenting the sounds in groups of 3 is great. Listening to the sounds as you write them is great. Setting it for Spanish is great! The arrows showing how to draw the letter are great. The thing that is not great is that sometimes the tracing does not match up exactly with the letter, which is confusing for her, and also, the tracing requires the child to keep drawing PAST the place where the letter ends or else you can’t move on. So sometimes we are staring at an obviously traced, completed letter, but it won’t consider it complete. I wish the sounds would come in Spanish too, especially vowels. Also, the letters are a bit big, so little hands that aren’t completely dexterous yet sometimes accidentally grab off-screen and shut the app/open my camera/something else weird. Overall, good app that we enjoy. With a few improvements, it would be excellent.Show lessMHL0404
Would be 5 stars, except...
The narrator adds an “uh” sound after some of the consonants, saying “buh,” “duh,” and “guh,” among others. The correct method is to give the pure phonics only (“b,” “d,” “g”), as adding “uh” confuses children later as they try to build words by sound.
Additionally, I wish it didn’t say “you did it” after each three part lesson. It gives no time for the child to realize “*I* did it.” The goal of a Montessori education is for the child to develop intrinsic motivation, not hear constant praise from the instructor.Show lesseseble
Don’t bother buying
The sound is very bad it does not give any extraction to kidsunicorn lover L&g
Awesome game!
Ever since I wanted to learn cursive, this game has helped me so much.Crosby100
Nice idea but some consonant sounds not properly pronounced
While the letters are introduced nicely and with a background that is clean and non-distracting, it will be confusing, especially to dyslexic students when certain vowel sounds, such as /k/ and /b/ are pronounced with a vowel sound attached; /schwa/ or "uh". I was actually looking for a handwriting program that had lower case cursive letters all starting on the baseline, which this one seemed to, so that part of the program is good, but will be using with sound off or returning for a refund.Show lessEspera0515
No tactile with horrible sound!
I tried this app because being a guide I wanted to be aware of technological enhancements or tools for the original materials. While I enjoy the visual it misses the critical aspect of tactile perception. Also, the scratching noise of tracing the sandpaper sounds like nails on a chalkboard! Ich!! I'm not recommending to parents until they change sound minimum.Show lessMontessorijewel
Supports Montessori Intro to Letters during Sensitive Period
This app supports a three or four year old Montessori child's facility with letters and alphabet during the so-called sensitive period. Mimics sandpaper letters but the only misstep here is that the app does not provide tactile feedback. Excellent app in just about every other material respect.ahmedesq
