Letter FUNdamentals vs Bowerstead

From the makers of the Handwriting Success App, Letter FUNdamentals with Getty-Dubay® Italic is a fun way to practice individual lowercase letters. Pick a letter family from the tree, then choose a letter to practice. Provides lowercase letter formation practice through four educational steps: following, tracing, tracing and drawing, then freehand drawing. Getty-Dubay® Italic is a handwriting style that is fun to learn, easy to teach and natural to write. This app develops these skills: - Recognition of letter families based on similar shapes, - Motor memory of correct letter paths, - Knowledge of starting points, stroke sequence and stroke direction, - Fluency of letter formation. This is a low-stimulation app, free from flashing or fast-moving graphics and sound. Tip: If possible, use a stylus. (This is better for training the hand & eye.) Using a finger with a touch screen or track pad is the next best option. The App can also be used with a mouse, if a stylus or touch device are not available. Phone screens may be too small for effective use of this app. Learn more at www.handwritingsuccess.com/letter-fundamentals Contact App Support at appsupport@handwritingsuccess.com

Bowerstead is a calm home for your homeschool records. Plan the week. Tap through the day as it happens. The record builds itself, so when someone asks what you covered, the answer is already written down. PLAN THE WAY YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY GOES Lay out subjects and time blocks for each child by day, week, or month, then check them off as the day happens. Nothing needs to go to plan for the record to stay accurate. CAPTURE IT WHILE IT IS FRESH A photo of the work, a note, a grade. Ten seconds now beats an hour of reconstruction on Sunday night. ATTENDANCE AND GRADES THAT STAY CURRENT Days taught and assessments come from the same taps you were already making, so they are up to date without a separate bookkeeping session. EVERY YEAR HELD SEPARATELY When a child moves up a grade, last year stays exactly as you left it. History does not get rewritten by this year's changes. YOURS TO TAKE WITH YOU Export your records whenever you want, in a form you can hand to whoever is asking. Delete your account and its data from inside the app. BUILT AROUND THE PARENT You are the only person who signs in. Children never get accounts, are never contacted, and never see the app. A paid plan is required to use Bowerstead.
