Description

Welcome to a new way of learningcursivehandwriting, combining music, images and interactive fun.

Cursive handwriting is now included in the school curriculumandserves as an effective way for children to learn to form lettersina flowing manner. Every letter starts at the bottom and sowilleffectively join up with the letter either side of it toform‘joined up handwriting’. Our app has been designed by an actualUKschool teacher to support the curriculum and ensurelearningcursive handwriting is made both easy and fun, so let’slearn alittle more about how and why?

To secure learning to the brain, children need to makelinksbetween what they hear, see and do. We call this‘auditorylearning’, ‘visual learning’ and ‘kinaesthetic learning’.Thismeans being able to hear something, see something and dosomethingto help remember it. Children also need to find learningfun andenjoyable to become confident, capable learners.

Our app combines all of these elements together in a new,childfriendly and exciting way. Children are learning to formeachcursive letter by hearing the songs (or spoken rhymes), linkingtheshapes of the letters to a common fun image and actuallytracingthem with their fingers. Children can enjoy our cursivehandwritingtechniques by recalling how to form each letter fromtheir auditorymemory as well as their visual memory. That means bysingingthrough the song or reciting the rhymes as they form eachletter.The letters are formed into 7 exciting groups and we havedesignedfun images and musical jingles to bring each set to life.Thesejingles have been created to link together what is beingheardmusically to what is being drawn.

Some children may find cursive handwriting difficult becauseofthe development of their finger strength to hold and control apenor pencil effectively. Our app enables all children to learntheirhandwriting letter formation simply by tracing over andfollowingthe letters with their fingers, or drawing them in the airas theysing along. Then, once their fingers are ready and theirpencilcontrol developed, they already know how to form theirletterscorrectly. This is much easier and better for theirconfidence andself-esteem than continually tracing over or copyingletters with apencil before their hand control is ready. To be ableto “knowwhich way to go” children benefit from an adult instructingthem asthey write. Our jingles sing this in a fun and stimulatingway sothat the children learn to ‘sing’ the letters for themselvesasthey write! Our jingles cleverly match both the style of theletterand the direction of movement and the look and feel of theapp aredesigned to be positive, rewarding, familiar, warm andwelcoming tochildren.

Our letters are introduced by their letter name followed bythesound that they make within words. It is important for childrentolearn both of these as they will need to know the letter soundsforreading and writing words. Our collection has been designedtosupport phonics progression as encouraged by manyschoolsthroughout the United Kingdom and USA.

So, let your child relax and enjoy the songs as they tracetheletters with their fingers.
