## What is Write My Name?

Developed by experts and endorsed by parents and teachers, Write My Name is a fun way for children to practice writing letters, words, names and phrases. Write My Name supports children ages 4 through 6 to learn how to write their name, trace uppercase and lowercase letters, and write over 100 familiar sight/Dolch words. Write My Name meets some of the basic reading and writing Common Core State Standards for kindergarten such as the introduction and mastery of print and word recognition concepts.

■ How to Play
Embedded within a child’s beautiful wood desk space there are three activity areas that preschoolers and kindergarteners can explore as they practice and master writing their alphabet, name, and common sight words.
ABC alphabet book focuses on learning and tracing the individual uppercase or lowercase letters.
- Word cards introduce over 100+ common sight words where children trace words in uppercase or lowercase letters. Once the word is traced, the word card comes to life with vibrant colors and animations. Trace the word a second time and a star stamp is added to the student’s word journal. These rewards encourage children to keep progressing through all the words provided.
- My Name allows parents and teachers to create 100 name tags, including the child’s name with a picture for children to practice writing words that are especially meaningful for them. 

■ Students with Special Needs
Write My Name is for children with special needs to help them practice emerging writing skills in a fun and playful way. Children with name writing as one of their IEP(individual education program) goals will especially benefit from the Write My Name learning application as it makes this task accessible and achievable to children with fine motor delays and sensory processing issues.

Downloaded this for the purpose of teaching to write names and it will not let me add names.

*2020-09-24, version 1.2.8.1*

I’ve tried to use this app on and off for years and always have problems creating a name. It crashes every time. I see they could care less as this has been a prior complaint in other reviews.

### 1/5 — Used to love this app

I love the app, but every time I try to create a name tag it knocks me out the app

### 1/5 — Will not work on new iPad

*2019-11-15, version 1.2.8.1*

I am owed the money I spent for this app. It will not allow me to add a name so that it can be traced. It typically crashes closed within seconds. Developers should be ashamed.

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2019-08-30, version 1.2.8.1*

I purchased the app not even 10 minutes ago and every time I put my child’s name in the app closes out. Please fix this problem or give me my money back
