School Writing app – Sarah DeBellis’ review

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Carol Leynse Harpold, MS, OTR/L, SCLV, ATP, CATIS

Thanks to Sarah DeBellis for her review on School Writing app, a international handwriting with many features including manuscript and cursive writing instruction. Check out her extensive review to decide if this belongs in your OT iTool Kit!

On Sarah's iPad

School Writing by Demografix is an App I’ve meant to review for some time. It has handwriting fonts for Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the UK. You might be mistaken for thinking it is only a handwriting App, when it is really a versatile App that can be used across the curriculum and is suitable for all ages. This App is for iPad only, but iPhone and iPod Touch users should still keep reading as there Demografix has an iPhone App, School Fonts, that is very similar, lacking only one of the major activities.

There are a bunch of apps that you could introduced in school and most students are using smart phones that they use. One app that runs not on a qwerty keyboard but it’s on an alphabetical keyboard layout.

Interesting, fun and educational as well, kids really will know how to use their alphabets at the same time
