LetterMagic helps children aged 4 and up learn to write letters, numbers and their first words – with a finger or the Apple Pencil, guided by Josephine the mouse and Frederik the fox. How it works Josephine and Frederik show how a letter is written. Your child traces the dotted template stroke by stroke. Every matching stroke is recognized, wrong ones simply disappear – no frustration, no mess. Each completed letter earns a star and a sticker for the album. A real narrator names every letter ("A is for Apple") and cheers when it worked. Included for free • All uppercase letters A–Z with stroke order and starting points • Voice: letter name, learning word and praise • Stars, sticker album and trophies • Apple Pencil support with palm rejection on iPad LetterMagic Pro (one-time purchase) • Word mode: 100 words in three levels – Easy (dog, ball), Medium (apple, crown) and Hard (rocket, turtle) – written letter by letter in lowercase on writing lines, just like in a book (capital letters only, if you prefer). The narrator sounds them out ("d – o – g … dog!"), every word earns a sticker, every finished level the Word Master trophy, and all one hundred the Word King • Lowercase letters a–z in print style, on writing lines like in a school notebook and shown as a pair (“A a”) – with the Lowercase Master trophy • Numbers 1–20 with bees to count – earn the Number Master and Number King trophies • Your own words in a parent's voice: your child's name, Grandma, the pet – add them in the parents' area, record once, done. They appear in word mode as their own level “My Words” • All future Pro content Made for parents • No ads, no tracking, no data collection – the app works offline • Parents' area behind a math question: sound, reset progress, purchase & restore • No outbound links a child could reach Built by a dad for his son – and tested by a real four-year-old.
