The more difficult child lock button does not work
I put on more difficult child lock to get larger numbers, but it doesn’t work, can you fix this please?
I love this app
because I love it
Could be better
The words are really repetitive 👎🏾make more than that 🥺🥺🥺well I think that there will be more yeah I really thought but I guess there isn’tI guess we’ll just have to stick with it right now because I really thought there would be more I really thought I did for little words I really need for letter
Perfect for pre-school summer hols
Great it’s customisable and you can practice names, especially long surnames ready for the summer. Really multi sensory, great motivator as game rather than pressure of writing on paper all the time.
It ok
It lags
Great, but not accurate lettering for UK
it’s a great app for helping the children with their letter formulation, but all UK schools now ask for precursive writing, which isn’t a font available on here. It would be great to have this added, and it’ll be an invaluable tool.
Great
Love it
Extremely customisable
My son loved this when he was little and didn't even know what letters where, and it is really useful now, that he is starting school. There are so many option for parents parents to change the difficulty level to adapt it to your child's needs. You can even enter your own list of words to practise in the app or to print out.
Writing Wizards
A great resource for pupils finding it difficult to pick up the correct sequence of moves for correct letter formation. Effective, engaging and fun!
