The Early Writing Collection includes: Pre-Writing App: Pre-writing activities help young children, as well older children with special needs, to build fine motor skills, and the language to talk about shape and pattern. This app also supports the early development of good letter formation. Select a pebble from the array and watch its pattern created by the fish in the rock pool. Trace the track of the bubbles with your finger, watching your pattern appear. Choose the same or a different pebble from the array to continue practising. Teacher options provide the facility to select what patterns the user can access for more focused work. (Preview App HERE) Letter Formation App: Learning to form lowercase letters consistently and accurately is an important step to developing fluent cursive handwriting. This absorbing and innovative app is a fantastic way to help children develop these skills. Choose a letter, hear its sound, watch a helpful creature draw it in the sand, and hear the letter name. Now try to draw the letter in its track, watching your trail form as you do so. Choose a new letter or select the tide to come in and sweep your attempt away and try again. Teacher options provide the facility to select what the user hears and what letters they can access for more focused work. (Preview App HERE) Number Formation App: Following on from the Letter Formation App, this innovative number app is an inviting way to support young children learning about numbers and how to form them. Choose a number from 1 – 20, watch a helpful insect draw it in the sand, and hear the number spoken. Now try to draw the number in its track, watching your own trail form. Choose a new number or activate the tide to come in and wash your attempt away and try again. Teacher options provide the facility to select what the user hears and which numbers they can access for more focused work. Use with our Feels-Write Number Stones for a complete multi-sensory experience, blending physical and digital learning.
