## What is School Fonts?

Teach your children how to write letters, numbers and your own words, using the Australian and New Zealand education approved plain and cursive fonts - QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS, SA, WA, NT and NZ.

Full Edition Feature Highlights:
• Create your own words lessons
• Students can trace and record audio answers
• Can be used for spelling lists, sight words and any other content you wish to create
• Customise all content including images, sounds and teacher example tracings
• Lock app to limit student customisation
• Automatically, by choice, email the student's tracings and audio recordings as a webpage to the teacher or parent at the end of a completed lesson.
• Create and manage multiple profiles

School Fonts allows the teacher or parent to prepare word lessons using written instructions, unique images and audio instructions, to which the student can respond using written and audio recordings. School Fonts maximises the flexibility for a teacher or parent who wants to create his or her own content. Unlimited activities can be created and customised to the individual levels of student learning needs. Activities include: spelling lists where the student writes the word and records audio of the spelling, Dolch sight words, circle the vowels, write the opposite and much more.

With tracing accuracy turned on to easy, medium or hard the students are rewarded with a half or full star depending on their accuracy. The default teacher tracings or your customisations of the teacher tracings are used as the basis for checking the students tracing accuracy. This allows for complete flexibility over stroke direction for left hand writers.

School Fonts features four activity areas including Words, Numbers, Lower Case and Upper Case. Each lesson features a large tracing area, on which the student can use their finger, or for penmanship instruction, a stylus, to trace the letters, numbers, or words. Also included with each lesson is the ability to play an audio recording of the lesson, the ability for the student or teacher to record their own audio instruction or response, a reset button, and three different tracing options: outlines with directional tracing arrow prompts, solid lines without arrow prompts, and dot representations.

Teacher tracing allows teachers to record their own example tracings for each letter and number, which replay when the student taps the Learn button. Teacher tracing offers the ability to record audio behind the tracing to replay for letter sounds or phonetics or as simple tracing instructions. This allows for regional variations of the letter sounds.

The Words activity section allows students to learn to read, write, say and spell pre-programmed teacher or parent created words. The Numbers activity section includes an image button with a picture of a number of items that correspond to the number being learned, which also can be customised. The Lowercase and Uppercase activity sections also feature the customisable photo and sound options.

Teachers can create, save and share their verbal and word lessons, profiles and customisations, with complete control over the management of the lessons, the app and student profiles. Full import and export functions are included.

Teachers or parents can lock the app into a restricted student mode using a four digit PIN. In student mode, word lessons cannot be created or deleted and profiles cannot be changed. Other options are available such as hiding the homepage external links. Clearly designed with education in mind, The app also has internal encouragements that can be turned off via the settings.

### 1/5 — it’s to Hard

*2020-01-23*

It’s to hard

**Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for the feedback, in the latest release we have made the tracing accuracy easier. You can also set the difficulty levels in the app settings.

### 5/5 — Great for the Classroom!

*2012-09-16*

School Fonts is fantastic! I use it in my classroom all the time, and I am able to get individualised feedback on student progress. A bonus feature of School Fonts is the lessons area. It has lessons across all primary school grade levels :) Another really great feature of this app is the ability to change font types to match your own Australian state. Within the actual letter writing section, your student can use upper or lower case letters, and can write with a solid, dotted or outline of the letter. It includes positive feedback and an image of something starting with that letter. I recommend this app to primary school and special educators.

### 5/5 — All state school fonts ... Fantastic !!

*2012-08-29*

Awesome app. Great to see it includes words plus create my own word lists/sight words. An excellent educational tool for home use.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2012-08-14*

This is THE BEST iPhone handwriting App.  Apart from all the lessons you get installed with the App, you can make your own.  My kids love it.  If you have an iPad, it is worth getting its big brother, School Writing, because there is an extra activity in there, but this one is fantastic on its own.  You can put in spelling lists, sight word lists, topic/theme/subject word lists, and the kids love to use it.  It works well with fingers, but you should try a stylus for some real handwriting practice.

### 2/5 — School Font

*2012-07-25*

This app would have been perfect if it told the children when they did the letter wrong

**Developer response:** Hi, The app records the student traces so the parent or teacher can view and replay the trace. It is designed for education and guidance by a teacher or parent.

### 5/5 — Happy teacher....

*2012-07-09*

What a fantastic app and a must buy for every parent in Australia. Using the correct educational fonts and even the dotted thirds lines for Victoria is brilliant. Even better is the ability to create my own word lists for spelling and sight word activities for different year levels. Can not wait to see other apps from a quality Australian developer. Thumbs up!

### 3/5 — Poor set up

*2012-06-25*

Praises even when letter/ number is not done correctly. Sets kid up with a false sense of achievement. 

I like the rest.
