Read full descriptionHide full description
Samuel's Writing Practice helps young children learn to write β from their first letter shapes to whole words β with gentle, guided tracing. β’ Trace letters and numbers with a finger or Apple Pencil, following ghost guides and animated "show me" demos that teach correct letter formation. β’ Warm, encouraging feedback β never red marks. Stars and a friendly mascot keep little ones motivated. β’ Grows with your child across five levels, from pre-writing patterns to writing their own name and short words. β’ Made for small hands: large tap targets, read-aloud instructions, left-handed mode. β’ A grown-up area (behind a parental gate) sets the level and daily amount, and keeps a portfolio of saved writing. β’ Record handwriting samples in the full-screen grown-up area and share saved samples with AirDrop or Save to Files. Private, offline practice: no accounts, no ads and no automatic uploads. You choose whether to export and share saved handwriting samples.
