I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this app when I first tried it out. It seemed relatively boring and I didn’t think that my students would be very excited about it. I was very very wrong. Cursive writing wizard is a very simple app that helps your students learn how to write cursive letters. What makes it interesting? There were 2 features that really engaged my students. The first was that when you trace each letter it traces the letter with a different icon (e.g. tiger heads, bubbles, hearts, stars, etc.). My students loved guessing what would come next and determined that their favorite was something that looked, to a third grader, like, “sparkly DNA.” The second was the fact that you can add your own words into practice in cursive. They all loved the fact that they could plug their name in and learn how to write it. So, this app is now student approved and great for teaching cursive letters.
