Letter tracing apps are commonplace, but few can be customized to a specific child like this one. Designed in France by the creators of the highly regarded Word Wizard, this app is designed to help children trace letters and numerals in your choice of three handwriting styles ((Zaner Bloser, D'Nealian and Handwriting Without Tears). Content includes 26 letters, each with animated stickers and sound effects. Once each tracing is complete children can they can interact with them by way of four games. You can also trace short words, such as your name. This app isn't as simple or elegant as Letter School, but it offers more customization and record keeping features. Teachers will want to know about this app. Other features include the ability to keep progress reports, replay and export tracings, create your own word list, and record audio for each word.
