Australian Touch and Write NSW
iPad / Education
Now for New South Wales – practice New South Wales Foundation Font with an Australian accent! Teachers love "Touch and Write" because children delight in writing when they can use shaving cream, paint, and jello. Create your own, individualized word and name lists - our database includes phonics coding for 80,000 words and names! Or practice one of the many included word lists, such as high frequency words, and word families (-AT family, -AN family, and more.) Children can listen to the PHONICS SOUND of each letter as they write, or toggle to hear the NAME of each letter. Developed by classroom teachers – builds on best education practices!
This is from a review of our Victorian "Australian Touch and Write" app:
"Brilliant fun way to learn Victorian cursive. I have been waiting for an app like this, a fun way to teach Victorian Modern Cursive, an app my special needs son enjoys playing with and learns as he goes. He can even use a stylus to draw the letters and build the muscle memory in his hand, that can later be transferred to writing with a pencil or pen. All children will benefit from this app, presenting learning writing in an exciting format, great guides to help learn where to start and stop letters, and great celebration pages to keep them interested and rewarded. I like that you can use the word lists or make your own so then the app grows with the child into writing full words, not just letters. I think I will be trying it out with my son's spelling lists too and double benefit writing and spelling. It is also great to be able to teach Aussie formats such as Victorian Modern Cursive.... Almost all the apps I have tried have been US based. Thanks FizzBrain! You are a star!" kr4177, customer review
