I think it is fabulous! My students do not get frustrated and quit. They are able to focus for extended periods of time and I get to make my own target list. Thanks for this great app." - Speech Therapist in California ***** "I just wanted to tell you about my session with my student today using Touch and Write. He is a kindergarten student... he resists writing and acts out to avoid it. Today I showed him the Touch and Write program... he was totally attentive for 30 minutes, quickly learned to move between the different writing textures and understood the use of the little monster to make the letter correctly." – Teacher ***** "The k and 1st grade kids are really engaged! One of them worked for 15 minutes - the most we have seen him do in weeks." - Teacher

Kids love learning to write - especially when they can use shaving cream, paint, and jello! "Touch and Write" was developed by real classroom teachers, and recreates the fun and effective teaching strategy used in classrooms every day: learning letters by writing with shaving cream, jello, finger paint, and more! "Touch and Write" uses a letter style similar to those most commonly taught in schools, so it prepares children for a real classroom. "Touch and Write" also allows you to create your own lists of names and words so that you can individualize the learning experience for your child! And it comes with 6 of its own word lists, including the most important words for young children to learn – high frequency sight words!

FEATURES:
>>Toggle letter SOUNDS or letter names
>>Database includes phonemes for 80,000 words and names
>>Easy to make your own word lists! Children can practice writing their own names and individualized spelling lists. Parents and teachers can create as many word lists as they want.
>>Integrates visual, kinesthetic and simulated tactile modalities to enhance learning – and fun!

>>Comes with 16 different writing textures: shaving cream, ketchup, lime gelatin, chocolate frosting, chalk, pencil, blue pen, lemon gelatin, chocolate pudding, syrup, grape jelly, whipped cream, pumpkin pie, red paint, and vanilla pudding
>>Comes with 28 different writing papers, including 4 different line patterns children are most likely to find in real classrooms, food papers, animal papers, nature papers, and more
>>Includes 2 high frequency word lists to help children practice the most common words encountered by early learners
>>Includes word family lists, such as the -AT family and -AN family
>>Includes 2 alphabet word lists – short words from a to z – providing practice in both upper and lower case letters

Latest reviews of Touch and Write app for iPhone and iPad

Printing fun!
This is the is the most fun app for printing that we use. Love picking what to write with - think the pink frosting is my fav :) The best part is the ability to add your own spelling words - perfect for a childs name and overall great for kinetic learners!
We love this!
My grandson played this for hours. His favorite is writing with the pink frosting with its squishy sound effect. We also made a new word list with the names of our family. What a great idea!
*love*
Touch and Write has moved to the top of my list for learning to write. Its extremely fun for my 4 year-old with classic autism and the easiest app for me to customize! I have been telling everyone about it! We have added a list called "family" where he can practice his name as well as his siblings and of course, Mommy and Daddy. Brilliant!
Crash iPad
It crashed my iPad 3. It just happened the day it was installed. Then, now it works well. Concept is good. My son likes it. Should add popping balloons for tracing,add more time to pop and eat the cakes.allow voice to be recorded for new words.
Good but want more..
Im an OT and can see using this app with the kids. Some things I would like to see: 1) be able to choose which letters and numbers to work on - instead of having to work on them sequentially, 2)be able to record words for custom word lists
