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 focussed work.

Perfect for Early Years Foundation Stage, as well as supporting the Key Stage 1 curriculum.
