How do you get out of the adult area

Great App

I purchased this to support some children in my classroom. I love all the elements if it. I suggest reading over all the instructions carefully as it has some great tips and explanations. I also like how up to 5 children can have a profile and these can have adjusted starting levels.

Even though a child may know many of the initial code by sight, if they cannot independently and correctly form the letter, starting at the beginning is something to consider.

The only thing I have noticed is that the pronunciation of the sound for โ€œmโ€ and โ€œnโ€ are so similar that I could hardly hear a difference. I like the UK accent as it is close enough to the Australian one for children to understand it.

Useful for our 4 year old

The app really helps well to master basic reading and writing skills.
Suggestions for a feature request:
- tracing: rate accuracy
- tracing: check the starting point of each line element and check if a correct up/ down stroke has been executed

Amazing

When I introduced this to my child , she did not understand letters, now she can write words and read small sentences! This is why I give this app five stars!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
