About

Loopy Letters

Features
Read full description

Watch a pen movement, trace the model, then try writing independently. Loopy Letters brings US and UK handwriting practice together on iPhone and iPad, and includes French cursive too. By default the app follows the device language. Choose the handwriting your child learns in onboarding or Settings: • US: Traditional, Slanted and Vertical, each with print and cursive, on primary paper with a dashed midline. • UK: Print, Selected joins and Joined, with alternative f, q and t forms, British-English words and speech, and four-line guides. These models follow handwriting conventions used in England; school schemes vary. • French: the joined cursive taught in French schools, on Seyès ruling, with French words and speech. In this collection the app is in French and is called Plumélio. Practice lowercase and capital letters, numbers, letter pairs, words, warm-up shapes, your child’s name and your own text. The animation demonstrates each model’s movements and joining rules. Stars compare the attempt with that model; they are a guide, not a school grade. Follow your child’s teacher and practice on paper too. Switch handwriting whenever you need to. The app remembers your style in each one, and each keeps its own stars, notebook and stickers. The notebook saves the best writing attempts. Adjust the paper size, left-handed layout, Pencil-only input, sounds, spoken guidance and stickers. Free in every handwriting: warm-ups, numbers, selected lowercase letters, capitals A and M, the first row of letter pairs or syllables and a sample word (“mom”, “mum” or “ami”). One optional purchase, Everything, unlocks all remaining exercises in all three, the child’s name and custom text. No subscription; Family Sharing supported. Practice works offline. No accounts, ads or analytics. The name, texts and writing stay on the device and may be included in device backups. External links and purchases are behind a parental gate. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Write with a finger, or Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad. Published by druidori s.r.o.; not affiliated with any handwriting program publisher.
