School Writing includes 28 individual plain and cursive letters for use in each Australian state - NSW, QLD, SA, VIC & TAS, New Zealand, South Africa, UK. The app also features Zaner-Bloser and D'Nealian styles used for learning handwriting in American schools. The app does not contain any in-app purchases as it did when first released.
This app is certainly a must have for every parent and teacher ***** by mrsnic123
Students just love this app. They love the different color choices and the replay button. Definitely seen positive results with students with fine motor difficulties. Congratulations on a great app.
Must-Have for all schools ***** by Aunty_Vegemite
Brilliant App that is more than just a handwriting App. It can also be used in just about any curriculum area. Incredibly easy to create my own lists of words with pictures and sounds.
Using this app, students are able to intuitively trace pre-handwriting shapes, uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, words or whiteboard images. School Writing enables hearing and seeing the letters, words and numbers along with customizable associated images and sounds. School Writing allows a student to easily and quickly respond to the lessons by means of written and/or audio recordings.
School Writing as an 'open scaffold' design, can provide far beyond an early educational stage.
With the option of tracing accuracy turned on, students are being rewarded with a star depending on their level of accuracy. They are given three attempts before proceeding with learning of next letter or number.
The teacher tracing feature enables audio recording for the letter sounds, changing the letter images and recording tracing instructions or individual letter phonetics.
The ‘Whiteboard’ section allows a teacher to draw or import images along with unique audio instructions for the purposes of tracing or interaction. Students can trace and record the audio answers.
The app enables creation, saving and sharing your own word lessons, profiles and customizations to suit your curriculum, while providing complete control over the lessons' management, the app and the student profiles.
As a secure Parent Friendly app, you can put the app into a restricted student mode via a 4 digit secure PIN. When locked, word lessons cannot be created or deleted, profiles cannot be changed and students have no access to any external links.
