[quote=Anonymous]If you’re okay with iPad time, get an app called Writing Wizard. It teaches the correct (D’Nealian & other options) way to write letters in a fun gamified way. My K kid who is not interested in writing (and is at a non-academic K that doesn’t provide direct instruction) LOVES it and it takes the pressure off me trying to teach (although I used to teach K so *could* teach him but he’s resistant to direct instruction from me). This app was recommended to me by an OT, and it has similar principles to Montessori sandpaper letters... basically developing the muscle memory and then being able to transfer that to actual handwriting. Today he said “I LOVE Writing Wizard,” and I can see how much better his writing is getting with just a few days. I like it because you can add your own words, like kid’s name, which they can practice and will serve them well in 1st. And then you can go back and see how their strokes have improved over time.
