iWriteWords Lite app review: an introductory look at writing
Introduction
As kids become more familiar with the alphabet, sounding out the letters, and putting together words, they will also be working at writing/printing these letters and words. This is an exciting time in a child's life but it can also be a bit scary for them. The iWriteWords Lite app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone gives you a way to work with them when it comes to learning how to write letters in a fun and non-stressful way. The app will not only help them learn how to write these letters but also build their confidence in general.
The best writing apps for iPhone and iPad
Writing Can Be Fun
There is no need for your child to feel stressed or confused when it comes to learning how to write. With this app they are given a very simple and fun approach that is helped along by animals. This is the free version of the app so you are given the letters A, B, C to play with and experience before deciding to purchase the full app. It's a great way to see how the app works and how well your child does with it. In this game kids will of course work on their handwriting while actually playing a game at the same time.
The best iPad apps for note-taking
In the most recent update there were a number of bug fixes as well as other features such as using a high contrast theme, the ability to filter which numbers kids are working on, and the ability to prevent the rotation of the falling letter blocks if you wish.
Learning While Playing
Parents seem to be quite happy with this app judging by the comments and customer ratings. It's ideal for toddlers as an introduction to the letters and words. In the game kids will need to help Mr. Crab gather up all the numbered balls while drawing a letter. The game playing is all done by dragging and tracing making it easy for the kids.
Best iphone and ipad apps
I really like that kids are drawing the letters without actually realizing they are doing so. They simply follow the colored balls and suddenly they have completed a letter. The sound effects, graphics, and animations all add to the game and really make it a fun and positive environment for the kids. Even young toddlers will be able to use the game as it’s very kid-friendly.
