Learn Cyrillic Alphabet Now vs Rocket ABCs Cursive

The Cyrillic Alphabet Now app is a learning tool to help you learn to read and write the core 29 letters of the common Cyrillic alphabet used in many Slavic, Turkic, Uralic or Mongolian or Iranian languages. It does NOT contain all the letters of theses languages, for example for Russian it lacks 4 specific letters or Bulgarian it lacks 3 letters. The core Cyrillic alphabet is presented in 6 lessons that cover both print and cursive scripts. It includes the names and pronunciation sounds of each letter. For specific languages and their pronunciation guides, please see the other appropriate apps we have published. After covering each lesson, a multiple choice quiz will help you test what you've learned. With its simple interface you can learn the alphabet in a few days. Program covers: - Six lessons with print and cursive scripts - Drawing letters - Pronunciation - Quiz for all the letters Study the letters in each lesson and write them down several times. Use the Write tab to learn to write letters in both the cursive and print scripts. Click on completed, once you know the lesson. Use the quiz to test your knowledge. Only the lessons marked completed appear in the quiz. No ads!

A clinical-grade learning app that teaches children ages 8–12 to recognize and sort cursive letters while building the fine motor and abstract-thinking skills that cursive writing develops. Cursive is increasingly absent from school curricula, but the cognitive benefits — fine motor control, letter-formation memory, abstract pattern recognition, reading fluency for older texts — remain real. WHAT IT TEACHES • Cursive letter recognition • Fine motor skill development through letter-tracing patterns • Form constancy across cursive variations • Abstract thinking via the connection between print and cursive forms • Reading fluency for cursive texts (historical documents, family letters) WHO IT'S FOR • Children ages 8–12 learning cursive for the first time • Children whose schools no longer teach cursive • Homeschool environments • Occupational therapists working on fine motor development • Parents who want to preserve a vanishing skill WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Rocket ABCs Cursive is built on the same three-pillar neurocognitive model — Attention, Intention, Rehearsal — that Dr. Markus uses across her clinical work. The exercises are hierarchical and deliberately structured to build skill rather than just provide practice. ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Dr. Donalee Markus has practiced cognitive restructuring since 1983, including 40+ years of work with children with learning differences. Her work is featured in Psychology Today and in Clark Elliott's "The Ghost in My Brain."
