ABOUT
Write for school is a colourful educational program to educate your child about letter shapes, sounds and blends of letters. Students learn through visual and auditory cues. Children trace the letters on an i pad using their finger or stylus pen.

HAND WRITING
To promote correct hand writing children are taught to finger trace and use the stylus pen. The pincer grip which is holding the pen/stylus lightly between the middle finger and thumb with the forefinger resting on top encourages better letter formation, and develops the fine motor skills needed for good writing habits.
VERBAL PROMPTS
Write for school is an international program providing professional voiceovers, in a variety of accents related to each of the hand writing styles. Auditory cues are provided for each letter and blend. Children can identify the difference in letter blends eg. “Ch” and “Sh”.
GRAPHICS
The graphics used are bright and stimulating to remind the child that there is a sound that goes with each and every letter, there are a few different pictures to match each letter.
