-------------------------------
Why should learning to write your ABC's be boring? Swim through the undersea ocean to choose a letter, and then practice writing the letter using guided strokes against a backdrop unique to each letter. Watch an eerie nautilus float by as you draw an "N", or watch a volcanic undersea vent erupt as you draw a "V".
LetterWriter:Oceans doesn't just display the letter and leave your child to randomly draw on the screen. Instead, it prompts your child with the correct stroke orders in sequence, reinforcing the stroke motion both before and after they make it. Their companion in this is a friendly fish who swims to the start of the stroke, and follows their finger along as they make it. When the stroke is completed, they get instant feedback, and earn a starfish each time they finish a letter.
When your child earns the fourth starfish for a letter, they unlock a storybook, which tells a brief poem, celebrating language and the wonders of the undersea world.
- Created by parents and educators.
- Contains exercises for all 26 capital letters, each with its own unique backdrop.
- Great for kids learning to write - pre-K through kindergarten.
- Younger kids can enjoy it as an interactive ABC's storybook.

I wish I had this app for my daughter when she was learning to write. It is one of the best kids apps I have seen on itunes. So nicely done! I love the poems and soothing sounds! Can't wait to share with family and friends.

Love this app!! It is so easy and really helps kids learn the correct way to write their letters. There is also a super cool background. This is a must have app!
Absolutely Charming

A lovely app for children. Fun, imaginative, beautiful sound and animation. Nice work.
What a great way to learn

My five year old loves this "game". It does a wonderful job cementing the writting skills he works on in kindergarten. He found the poem feature today and I had to wrestle away my phone from him to write this review.
Fun game for my son's problem letters
Game Lab Mom
When my son works on his practice sheets from Kindergarten, he still has trouble writing some letters backwards, or in the wrong order -- resulting in huge letters. This is a fun way for him to practice his trouble letters in a way that is different from the written exercises. It feels like a game to him, as he does each letter enough times to 'earn the poem'. I can the reset the letters for the next round of practice. I see immediate improvement on his homework sheets after he plays this game!
Excellent app, teaches AND entertains
McThrill
This little app packs an incredible amount of value for $1.99. The art, animation, and sound especially are very appealing. The app store needs more quality apps like this! I can't wait for the lowercase version!
Most creative Preschool ABC Training App
TheGameLady
This app's creative poems, outstanding graphics/sound effects, high replayability and large letters for little fingers make this one a most outstanding iPhone app for teaching Preschooler's ABC. Its underwater environment is much more engaging that the traditional "classroom" look. This is a sure hit with even older kids.
Very Slick

Hands (or finger, lol) down the best educational app the teaches how to correctly write letters.
great app for toddlers
21stCenturyParent
My son loves this game, and it is a great app for teaching letters and developing fine motor skills needed for writing. Would be better if it also had lower-case letters, and the voice-over reading of the poems is a little too subdued, and sometimes hard to hear if there is background noise.
Not what they said

No feed bck given after letter was completed and it doesn't say the letters! The ocean theme is great and the tracing with the fish is cute but it's lacking!!
