## What is Letter Quiz?

Letter Quiz is the best way to learn the English Alphabet with over 10,000 copies being purchased by schools. Four different games for every stage of learning; flashcards, identification, matching and handwriting. Designed for kids but great for all ages.

- What People Are Saying:
"I think this Letter Quiz is an awesome app.  I downloaded the free version and my son was begging for the full version. That's when you know its a good one.  So I downloaded the full version and he worked on his letters for an hour.  As a parent, I am so happy that he loves it and he is learning."

"My 2 year old daughter loves this app. Initially the app had only recognizing the alphabets now it also features writing. My daughter didn't have any interest to write alphabets on paper but when she saw the app, she learned to write in a few days. On the whole excellent app recommend the full version to all parents with little children."


Four great games to develop your skills:

- ABC Flashcards to get started recognizing letters
The uppercase and lowercase versions of each letter is shown on a card. Tapping on the card flips it over to reveal an object starting with the letter while a voice announces the letter and the objects. Use app settings to play in random order for a change of pace.

- Letter Identification to test knowledge
Multiple letters are shown on the screen and a voice requests you to touch a specific letter. If you touch the right letter, an object is shown starting with that letter, then it moves to the next letter. Get through all 26 letters and you win! Use app settings to play in random order or hide the hints to make the game more difficult.

- Matching uppercase and lowercase letters
The top shows letters in uppercase. The bottom shows letters in lowercase. Draw a line between the two letters matching uppercase and lowercase to get to the next level. Enable random order in app settings for even more challenge.

- Alphabet Tracing to practice handwriting
Each letter is presented full screen with dotted lines shown to guide you through writing the letter. As you trace with your finger, fun sounds play along the line. After each letter is finished they are combined on a blackboard with your full alphabet. You can choose between uppercase and lowercase letters or play in random order by enabling them in the app settings. Complete all 26 letters to unlock the fireworks celebration with exploding letters and music! 

Special Features:
- Universal app plays natively on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
- Kid protected section for adjusting settings, no external links without a parent
- Includes both Uppercase and Lowercase letters, enabled in settings
- Localized for US and non US pronunciation for the letter Z ("zed" vs "zee")
- Teacher mode allows parents to pick individual letters to trace, enabled in settings
- Disable swiping to advance Flashcards for younger players

### 3/5 — Irritating

*2023-12-14*

App always freezes on the “touch the letter game” we can never get through the whole alphabet without having to restart

### 5/5 — :)

*2023-12-01*

My child really loves all your games and your mascots. Especially the baby named Timmy on the Home Screen. Keep up the great work!

### 3/5 — Not very helpful

*2020-01-11*

Not what i needed as i want to quiz my 4 year old on separate upper and lower case letters. She can easily know them if she has the other one next to it to give her a hint. Wish they had flash cards with single letters on them. The tracing will be handy though.

### 5/5 — ADHD letter help!

*2019-03-04*

My 6yr old son was really struggling until we started using this app together.  The robot sounds and vibrations it makes while he traces the letters and says the letter sounds out loud to me is jut what he needed to stay focused and be interested in doing the app.  Now my 3 year old wants to be just like his brother and he is loving this app.  They are different kids and while my now 3 yr old is all about learning his letters my 6 year old would never have used this app when he was 3.  I am sooooo thankful for this App!

### 5/5 — I rarely write a review but!

*2018-11-18*

This tool works to teach how to properly write letter.
I recommend it to parents.

### 3/5 — Fair

*2018-11-10*

Only lets child trace letters to letter H  then screen goes black and rockets show up. Rest of alphabet does not come up.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-11-21*

I am a Behavior Specialist in the schools district.  I have witnessed children with very low cognitive levels and poor coordination master some of the exercises in the application.  The joy and personal sense of accomplishment the child emits is  gratifying.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-09-08*

Why is the full version not tracing after letter A?

### 4/5 — Great but no small letter tracing?

*2017-02-03*

Please add small letters to the tracing

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-12-01, version 2.3.1*

Great app for kids learning to write and identify letters.
