What others say aboutLetterschool

"I am an occupational therapist in a school district and I have downloaded many apps, but this is by far the best. I use it a lot as supplement to my program! Highly recommended!"
Occupational therapist, US school district (App Store review)
"What we liked: The concept. Fun visuals. Ease of use. Extensive set of 3 letter words. 3 difficulty levels. Great for early learning practice (phonics, word and syllable formation and spelling)."
AppySmarts.com
"Truly impressive! The app sets a definitive bar for teaching young children to write letters and numbers, and with a wealth of incredibly detailed and gorgeous animations, it will even entertain the tikes, too. It’s a truly impressive effort, and as this level of high-quality animation persists throughout the entire app, we can’t possibly recommend the graphics enough. Simply put, they’re divine."
The iPhone App Review
"What a Fantastic Job these Developers Did! A handwriting lesson the fun way! Extremely enticing for kids and filled with colors, stars and praise. Certainly this is an app that should be in all preschool and kindergarten classes! This app is a great addition to your kid’s toolbox for life!"
Best Apps for Kids
"One of “4 Wonderful Educational iPad Apps For Kids” LetterSchool is the kind of app I wish I had around when I was younger. In three easy steps, it teaches kids how to write letters and numbers, using just the right gradient to make it super easy to learn. The process includes different amusing effects for each letter, which makes the whole process fun and interesting."
MakeUseOf.com
"Pretty impressed… I have tested out a few letter tracing apps and I give this one the award for the best so far."
Your Therapy Source
"This is educational technology as it should be! LetterSchool is a “best of the bunch” letter learning and handwriting app that will keep kids coming back for more. Subtle audio clues help kids learn the correct way to form letters. Simple animations boost the replay value. Teachers and occupational therapists will love the fact that they can designate lower or upper case letters (or numbers) as well as choose from three handwriting learning programs."

Questions

Here's answers to our most common questions

Still have questions? Visit our Help Center or get in touch.

For what ages is LetterSchool suitable?
LetterSchool is tailored to individual use by kids from three to eight years of age. Its didactic approach works wonderfully at home, in the classroom, in the car, or on the back of a camel.
There aren't any instructions? How do kids know what to do?
LetterSchool guides a player by providing subtle yet highly effective visual and auditory feedback when it intelligently detects that he or she needs a hand. There’s no reading required. Tip: don’t forget to turn on your device’s sound.
What languages do you support?
LetterSchool currently offers the following languages: English, Spain, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish and Arabian. All languages are free to download, and we plan to release additional languages in the future!
Why are there two levels? Silver and Gold?
To achieve the best results, the player must practice all the letters again after a while; hence two levels. Having two levels also accommodates differences in children’s styles and needs. Some players may simply stop after completing the easier silver level, while others will want to advance to the more challenging gold level with its free-form writing. The second level works the same way as the first one, but you get a whole new set of games to play, and the writing game is more of a challenge (free-form writing). Tip: Once you reach the Gold level, you can reset the scores in the settings to go back to the Silver level.
How do I change the language?
LetterSchool allows you to change the learning language and the menu language. The learning language is the language used for playing the app. The menu language is the language of the text which is used for navigating the menu. Both can be adjusted in the menu settings. This allows your child to easily switch and learn new languages!
How can I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions will automatically renew with the next billing period unless you choose to end them. You can easily cancel your subscription in the App Store.
