School Writing for iPad

★★★★★ Great app — by S Wade (United States)

★★★★
"We created lists for my kindergartener's sight words and love that he can push the sound button and hear me say and sound out the word. The only thing missing is the accuracy feature for tracing."

"For a while now I have been waiting for an app that allowed me to create my own word lists and spelling activities. If there was a 6th star, I would give it to this app."

"We have only been using this app in our classroom for a few days now after I spent the time to create our spelling lists and create our custom lessons. The students really get a buzz out of hearing my voice say the words and images that relate to them. I can see how I will be using this app in my classroom for many subjects."

"My 6 yr old's been making good use of this for his writing. This has been the most useful educational app I've found so far for him!"

"Seriously one of the best apps I've discovered — has so much in it for only $4.49. You could easily incorporate this app into your handwriting program. I'm going to be sharing this app with all my teacher colleagues!"

"Brilliant App that is more than just a hand writing App. It can also be used in just about any curriculum area. Incredibly easy to make my own word lists with pictures and sounds. Can't wait to see what else this company comes up with."

"I have only been using this app for two weeks in my classroom but it has so many great customisable features that I am sure that I have only seen the tip of the iceberg. Being able to use the correct font is fantastic, as is being able to easily create my own word lists and even get an emailed copy of students' work once they have done. The app is so simple to use that my Year 2 students only needed brief instructions and were able to use it independently from then."

"I use this app at home with my 6 year old practising writing and use the 'add your own' function for his weekly spelling test words! I use it at work with adults with brain injury learning to write again. The pre letter skills area is very good for this client group."

Ghost Type

★★★★★ Great training

★★★★★
"I was looking for a typing tutor for my nephews who are aged 4-10, and they love it! You know, watching over each other as they play and learn, 'it's my turn!'. Well thought out app, and very customisable. Recommended."

"TOP MARKS to the developers of this app!! For someone who writes a lot of emails and reports but has struggled getting typing speed since migrating to the iPad this has made a massive difference in only 45mins!! Its intuitive whilst doing the tutoring and the huge list of settings allows me to customise the app to suit me personally. The keys 'ghosting' to trigger your memory is a very cool feature."

"A brilliant app and the ghosting keyboard certainly enhances the ability to learn where the keys are. I was also delighted that I could create my own lessons. I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to improve their iPad typing skills."

School Fonts for iPhone

★★★★★ Great for the Classroom!

★★★★★
"School Fonts is fantastic! I use it in my classroom all the time, and I am able to get individualised feedback on student progress. A bonus feature of School Fonts is the lessons area. It has lessons across all primary school grade levels. Another really great feature of this app is the ability to change font types to match your own Australian state. I recommend this app to primary school and special educators."

"This is THE BEST iPhone handwriting App. Apart from all the lessons you get installed with the App, you can make your own. My kids love it. If you have an iPad, it is worth getting its big brother, School Writing, because there is an extra activity in there, but this one is fantastic on its own. You can put in spelling lists, sight word lists, topic/theme/subject word lists, and the kids love to use it. It works well with fingers, but you should try a stylus for some real handwriting practice."

"Giving a 5 star even though it keeps crashing on me! That's because it is the best cursive & manuscript teaching app (the choices and customization are outstanding) I've found! Expecting that an update will fix the crashing! (demografix: fixed the crashing in the last update)"

Literacy for iPad

★★★★★ Excellent

★★★★★
"Great educational app!"

Version 1.0 — Aug 29, 2012
★★★★★
"As an owner of School Writing, I was keen to see what other quality apps this company would release. Literacy certainly does not disappoint. More customisation and a perfect solution to scrolling multiple traceable screens for sentences. Certainly an app Schools will need and an app that I will use at home with my children. Well done, demografix."
