Source: Samuel L. Blumenfield, "How Should We Teach Our Children to Write? Cursive First, Print Later!"

The British Dyslexia association recommend that children learn the continuous cursive style. The cursive style has some significant advantages for Dyslexic students. The key advantages to this system are:

* By making each letter in one movement, children’s hands develop a ‘physical memory’ of it, making it easier to produce the correct shape;

* Because letters and words flow from left to right, children are less likely to reverse letters which are typically difficult (like b/d or p/q);

* There is a clearer distinction between capital letters and lower case;

* The continuous flow of writing ultimately improves speed and spelling.

CrazyCursive App Review

Amazing app, really good!
One thing that could be improved for the letter writing would be letting you chose if you want to go onto more then one letter joined up instead of doing it automatically after you go of it, for example it goes straight to: aaa after you do: a. For people like me, I would want my child to practise the same single letter every day without having to go a change the settings everyday.

For people who haven't bought this app, defiantly buy it as it the best app I have ever got, I am just trying to make it even better than it already is.

Problems with functionality.

We are using this app to help my daughter with her handwriting skills and it’s pretty good. But we have encountered some functionality problems - we can’t delete user profiles (our preschooler added 5 of her own) and also can’t swap between users while still in the app (you need to quit and restart, which is annoying).

Developer Response ,

Dear LotLot78,
Thank you for your feedback, this is a tricky one as we deliberately made it hard to delete users, as kids will be kids, and they have been known to delete other children's profiles. You cannot delete a user but you can change their name and then go into setting and reset progress. This is then effectively a new user. Hope this helps. Vicky
