Now for Queensland – practice Queensland Beginners Font with a Queensland accent! Teachers love "Touch and Write" because children delight in writing when they can use shaving cream, paint, and jello. Create your own, individualized word and name lists, or practice one of the many included word lists, such as high frequency words, and word families (-AT family, -AN family, and more.) Using the included word lists, children can listen to the SOUND of each letter as they write, or toggle to hear the NAME of each letter. Developed by classroom teachers – builds on best education practices! This is from a review of our Victorian "Australian Touch and Write" app: "Brilliant - fun way to learn Victorian cursive. I have been waiting for an app like this - a fun way teach Victorian Modern Cursive, an app my special needs son enjoys playing with and learns as he goes. He can even use a stylus to draw the letters and build the muscle memory in his hand, that can later be transferred to writing with a pencil or pen. All children will benefit from this app, presenting learning writing in an exciting format, great guides to help learn where to start and stop letters, and great celebration pages to keep them interested and rewarded. I like that you can use the word lists or make your own so then the app grows with the child into writing full words, not just letters. I think I will be trying it out with my son's spelling lists too and double benefit - writing and spelling. It is also great to be able to teach Aussie formats such as Victorian Modern Cursive.... Almost all the apps I have tried have been US based. Thanks FizzBrain!

It teaches correct pencil movements in a fun way. Well done. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2018-04-07* App was put in lenient mode but still wouldn’t allow children or adults to complete a letter without it shaking and making them start again even though they were writing the letter correctly. Very frustrating for children. ### 5/5 — Best app *2017-03-09* Awesome app for Prep classroom. Does letters and numerals, sight words, word families and fully customisable for whatever you want. Put in kid's names, word walls, your own focus letters, your preferred sight words. Incredible. Bargain for $5. Highly recommend. Best app for Prep-2 I have ever purchased thank you. Prep Teacher Qld ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-08-10* Fantastic app but would be great if there was an option to record your own voice for lists you have added. ## Frequently asked questions about Touch and Write ### What is the Queensland Beginners Font?
