Pretty Good, with a couple drawbacks – Montessorium: Intro to Cursive Review

The app is pretty good. My daughter turns 4 next month and has been using it since 6 weeks ago when her school closed. Her teacher recommended it because they learn cursive first in their class. She is enjoys tracing the letters and picking out the sounds. She will go for about 10 minutes, which is the age-appropriate attention span for this kind of thing I believe. Presenting the sounds in groups of 3 is great. Listening to the sounds as you write them is great. Setting it for Spanish is great! The arrows showing how to draw the letter are great. The thing that is not great is that sometimes the tracing does not match up exactly with the letter, which is confusing for her, and also, the tracing requires the child to keep drawing PAST the place where the letter ends or else you can’t move on. So sometimes we are staring at an obviously traced, completed letter, but it won’t consider it complete. I wish the sounds would come in Spanish too, especially vowels. Also, the letters are a bit big, so little hands that aren’t completely dexterous yet sometimes accidentally grab off-screen and shut the app/open my camera/something else weird. Overall, good app that we enjoy. With a few improvements, it would be excellent.
