## What is I learn cursive writing lite?

Serpodile offers a new method for learning cursive writing by decomposing the 26 letters of the alphabet in 13 basic shapes (circle, candy cane...) using visual and audio directions. 

4 basic shapes and 6 letters are available in this free lite version. The full version is available in the app store with all 13 basic shapes and 26 letters at https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/cursiveshd/id611725294

Each screen includes : 

* A colorful frame to help children orient themselves in space (ground, sky, beginning/green, ending/red ) 
* A letter or a basic shape 
* Verbal instructions to draw the letter or basic shape 
* A green arrow showing where to start and a red dot showing where to stop 
* A carefully crafted minimalistic interface helps children stay focused. Even the interface hide itself during drawing. 

The drawing direction is checked by the app. While the drawing is not done correctly, the child is corrected until he succeeds. 

This method has been build and tested by occupational therapists (OT). This method is particularly adapted for children having disabilities like dyspraxia and autism, but is of course of great help for children just trying to learn to write cursive letters. 

This application is a digital version of an existing writing method available as erasable workbooks at http://serpodile.com. 

In our opinion, your privacy matters more than some marketing statistics. This app does not contain any sort of tracking code, nor does it collect nor transmit any data on the usage of our app. This app does not contain in-app purchase.

## Key features

- Visual and audio directions for letter formation
- Decomposes letters into basic shapes

### 5/5 — I AM PERSONALLY GIVING THIS APP 5 stars to be read by fellow parents

*2023-12-30*

I hate writing reviews but when i find a great game, I will write that it is a great game if I enjoy it. However, since this is geared towards kids, this is the worst app that I've ever come across they do have free apps out there that are better than this, however there is no critique and as a parent, we all know that we want our child to do well and not be the one to tell them that they need to do better.imo

### 5/5 — Very good to learn

*2021-02-18, version 2.2.8*

I love this app and it teaches kids cursive letters so they can write the letters down

### 1/5 — Horrible

This is horrible because you have to buy the whole app to play it and I’m trying to learn cursive 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠💢💢

### 2/5 — Five letters and then kicked off

*2016-11-05, version 2.2.5*

It let me do five letters and then told me that I had to pay or go to their website. It wouldn't let me do anything after that.
