"My son loves Touch and Write - Fantastic app and the customising options are great!" - from parent review ***** "Love, love, love your app Touch and Write:)" - from parent review ***** "Touch and Write has moved to the top of my list for learning to write. It's extremely fun for my 4 year old with classic autism and the easiest app for me to customize!" - from parent review ***** "I would highly highly highly recommend this app" - WelcomeToTheirWorld app reviews ***** "I have recommended Touch and Write to all my colleagues and parents. 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

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Fixes bug that prevented Directions from displaying. In addition, more phonics sounds options - alphabet button now allows letter sounds in addition to letter names! We created a database of all the words your child is ever likely to encounter in school - a database of 80,000 words - and coded in the phonics values for each letter. This allows children to create virtually unlimited personalized word lists and listen to the phonics SOUND of each letter - rather than just the letter name.

This allows children to create virtually unlimited personalized word lists and listen to the phonics SOUND of each letter - rather than just the letter name. We also listened to suggestions from parents of children with special needs and added an "Extremely Lenient" setting. This limits error notifications in order to reduce the frustration of children with limited fine motor dexterity.

Yesterday an Occupational Therapist wrote us: "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." -- Coming up soon: We have received many requests for a button to allow children to repeat or skip over a word. We hear you loud and clear, and should have this update out shortly! Also, thanks for the tip on capital T - we will fix it! AND we will be adding black paper for visually impaired children. Thanks for all your input! In the meantime, we also had requests for more word families, so we have added the –ap and –op family, as well as a brighter, more colorful icon that matches the app's color scheme! Previous updates: Version 1.1 fixed a bug that caused a crash on some devices (thanks for the heads up!) and added two word families: the –at and –an family.

Littlemissglamour,
Great for formation - lacks sounds
I agree that this app is great. But I also wish it included phonetic sounds. My struggling kindergarteners use this to practice writing but hearing "a /a/" would be even more helpful.
I also wish there was a setting option to have the cupcake monster show up less frequently - like at the end of the alphabet instead of after every letter - to maximize learning time. Thank you!

Katterfox,
Fun and very helpful!
I had low expectations because of the lack of and age of reviews, but I’m glad I tried it. This app is fantastic, I love that I can easily add custom lists. My son loves to play it, all the writing tools to choose from is fun. It also guides to make sure the letters are being written properly, it will stop and have you start over. Must-have for anyone with young kids learning to write.
Sad OT,
Delightful way to learn and practice letter formations!
I love this app and am amazed how motivating this app is for students who do not enjoy learning to write letters! Children who typically do not demonstrate good motor control, will work slowly and carefully to trace the letters accurately. Using a stylus allows for working on grasp patterns for pencils and other writing utensils. The ability to create individualized word/letter families makes its use more efficient and tailored to a student's needs. The music is a little wearing, so having the ability to turn it off is a good thing, especially for students who are easily distracted or have a low tolerance for sounds. Love the paper backgrounds, whipped cream, sound effects, and the method of correcting errors in stroke sequence. I could go on and on listing all the benefits! As a school-based OT, this app has made my therapy sessions much more fun and very beneficial. Thanks for this great learning and teaching tool!!
bpzahl,
Really wonderful for beginner writers
My three year old loves this app. It has improved his accuracy in letter formation. We love that you can also add your own words so you can teach them to write their own names and other words that interest them in order to get them practicing their letters. The music is well chosen and not annoying. The idea of writing with food is so great--it's not crucial to the writing, but it just makes it so much more fun for the child. My son's favorite is to write on Cheerios background using ketchup :-). I would recommend this to all pre-K and K kids. Once my son is more proficient with the letters we will encourage him to practice with a stylus so that it becomes more like writing with a pen (of course we will also have him write on proper paper with a proper pen!)
Hum ash,
Excellent update.......
I love this app and I love the features of adding words&numbers,
When I added numbers and words it was only spelling out, but it was not saying the word so I emailed to the developer and ask him to add an option where we can also hear the word of the list we created and also asked him if we can add numbers 1-50 instead of 1-10.
The fizz brain genius responded to my request and promise to work on it in summer,and he did it. In this new update not only that we can add 1-100 numbers but also we can add words and after writing we can hear the word we wrote.
And one more feature added the letter sound we have the option to turn on the letter sound or turn it off if we want.
Thank you for making education fun and easy by making this app.
No doubt they listen and take seriously our feed back ,
thank you for this great update.

ShannonPrimer,
Love this app!!
This app is wonderful. It reinforces and generalizes the skills my child with autism is learning at school. I love that you can make your own custom list to practice writing.
The only thing that could make this better is we had the ability to make the letters smaller as the child became accomplished at this size. The idea is to be able to get the letters eventually to normal writing size.

OT from IA,
Fun options
Love everything about this except that it doesn't give you a page with all the letters presented to choose one from, you have to go through the ABC sequence or else make your own letter list, which takes extra time. Also wish the monster cues were always in the same color for consistency.
Cgregoryrun,
*love*
Touch and Write has moved to the top of my list for learning to write. It's 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!
Calystak,
Cool app
I was able to get my son to practice number writing when he saw all the food. This was a really fun idea. I like that you are stopped if you try and trace the letters or numbers the wrong way. In the next update could you add an option to repeat a letter or number before moving on to the next one?
Elpslp,
Awesome
I love this app and the creative way in which it teaches letter formation. I love the variety of "writing" materials that can be used. I also love how you can practice letters in lowercase, uppercase, and in words. I also appreciate how if you make an error in formation that the program makes you try that part of the letter again.
