There are a lot of things I like about today's GFAOTD, not the least of which is that the name of the developer is FizzBrain, which is awesome on so many levels.
Touch and Write helps children learn to write their letters in a fun way, by using shaving cream, jello, ketchup and more!
From what I've read it was only supposed to be free yesterday, so get it now! Lily is jumped all over this one as we speak, so to speak.
** Please note ** Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not. All apps that we post as Good Free Apps of the Day are verified to be free at the time of this post. We make no guarantees otherwise. **
From iTunes:
"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.✩✩✩✩✩
FizzBrain featured on CBS's "60 Minutes"!
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!
ouch 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 six of its own word lists, including the most important words for young children to learn – high frequency sight words!
FEATURES:
✰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!
✰Children can practice writing their own names and individualized word lists – parents and teachers can create as many word lists as they want!
✰Children practice a letter style similar to those most commonly taught in real classrooms
✰As children write, their actual letter formation is displayed next to a standard letter, so children can compare and work to improve
✰Includes 2 high frequency word lists to help children practice the most common words encountered by early learners
✰Includes 2 alphabet word lists – short words from a to z – providing practice in both upper and lower case letters
✰Includes 1 alphabet list – for just practicing the letters a to z, both upper and lower case
