Wonderful app for teaching kids how to read and write! My daughter thinks its fun and I love it as we'll! Great teaching tool, glad I found it!!

I really like this app for helping teach my 6 year old daughter to write in cursive! The only complaint I have is that the letters do not show how they "join up" when writing more than one letter. Considering that cursive is meant to be used to write more quickly and as a teacher, I think that should be demonstrated when joining letters in cursive into words. Otherwise, for beginners, it is an excellent app with options for writing in D'nealian or cursive. :)

This program was great for introducing phonics, spelling and handwriting to my child. With a stylus, we could do a more advanced handwriting after getting the basics mastered. The best part is that the program has both major handwriting styles built in. I have recommended this program to other parents that wanted a good educational game for their early elementary children. Works well on both iPhone and iPad.

This is the only app I know of that focuses on letter SOUNDS, not names. There are plenty of apps that name the letters, but getting the SOUNDS right is critical for learning to read. Granted, the sounds aren't always voiced the same when said alone as they would be in a word, (and here they pronounce the s as an s, but then it sounds like a z at the end of the word) but at least this app moves through the process: the individual sounds separately, then said one right after the other, and then blurred together. Not perfect, but closer than many other letter apps out there. 5 stars for being unique.

My kids are always harassing me, wanting to play on my iPhone and once I got this app they love it and so do I!! I believe it really helps.. I have a set of 4 year old twins and it helps them. I hear them always sounding out the sounds with the app when they play it!!

My son has a speech delay and hearing loss. I can't talk enough how this app has helped him. It's been about a year since he started using this app, and his improvement is remarkable!
