Write My Name $3.99
This is a well designed app that is very versatile for practicing writing letters, both upper case and lower case. The entire app revolves around the skill of tracing. The main menu has three parts to choose from; letters, word cards, and my name. In the letters section you can choose upper case or lower case and then you can also choose which letters you want to do. In the words card section you have a menu of words from 2-letter words to 4-letter words and they are core vocabulary words. In the “My Name†section you can customize this menu and make any words that you want and create a photo to go with the word. It is called “My Name†because this is where you can make a page with the child’s name on it so they can practice tracing their name.
