Ratings and Reviews
Amazing learning app
The StartDOT app is great! The teaching approach is easy for our kids to follow and it is great for learning letters and numbers. We have four children and all of them have learned from the StartDOT app. I recommend it to any parent who wants to help their children master their handwriting!
Love it!
It’s been hard to find something that captures my son’s attention AND really teaches handwriting.... but this app hits both of those marks. He really likes using all of the colors to write like a rainbow and has been on it for long bouts of time without any coaxing. He even wrote the letters on the printable worksheets they have. I liked having the option of using their order or changing the settings so he can jump around to any letter alphabetically once he's mastered several. This is a winner in my book!
Great, only one problem so far
I think the app is a great idea and I love the fact that its not as error sensitive as some of the other apps out there (I work with a a lot if children with very low frustration tolerances). My one and only pet peeve is that the app does not allow you to dive right in and just choose a specific letter that you want to work on.... I work with some children who are only practicing certain letters (for example S), but to get to the letter S, they would have to complete allllll other letters before it in order to open the letter S up.....they already know how to form those letters, so it's a waste of therapy time to have to practice them all before we get the S (or whatever specific letter they may be working on). It would be a nice upgrade to the app if whoever is using it can go right ahead and just pick whatever letter they want to work on, without having to complete all the other letters before it.
