Cursive Practice: Handwriting

Cursive Practice is for adults and students who want to learn cursive handwriting or bring it back. You write over a faint guide with your finger or Apple Pencil, and the app checks each stroke on your device when you finish. ■ Follow the guide Each letter and word sits on four guide lines, with a numbered dot where every stroke starts and arrows for its direction. Tap Stroke Order to watch the strokes drawn one by one. Turn the numbers and arrows off once you know the stroke order, and make the guide smaller or larger. ■ Feedback for every stroke When you finish, the app compares your strokes with the guide and gives a score from 0 to 100. Strokes that passed turn green. A stroke that is missing, starts away from its dot, goes the wrong way, comes out of order or drifts from the shape is marked in orange with a short note, such as "Went the opposite way. Follow the arrow." ■ Write without the guide Hide the guide and write from memory on the lines. When you finish, the app shifts your writing sideways and adjusts its size a little so it sits on the guide, then shows the two together. You get a match percentage for how close the shapes are, plus notes on start, direction and order. It doesn't try to read which letter you wrote, and these tries are not added to your history. ■ Practice what you missed Letters you don't pass go on the To Practice Again list, and you can add any letter yourself. The History tab shows what you practiced today, with the number of tries and the highest score for each. ■ What's inside • Lowercase a–z and uppercase A–Z, all in one cursive style drawn for this app • 6 word packs, from Joining Basics to Days and Months • 10 short sentences written line by line, with capitals and punctuation • Your Own Text: type a word or a short line of up to 24 characters (English letters, spaces and . , ' ? !) and trace it ■ Free, with one optional purchase Lowercase a–z, five uppercase letters (A, C, L, M, S), five words, the scoring, the To Practice Again list and your history are free.
