Music and Media Writing Apps

Here's a list of great writing apps that help children along every step of the writing process. Writing is a complex process but we've found apps that help young children along all of the steps of the writing process, including ways to strengthen fine motor development. Several apps can turn your tablet into a handwriting practice.
  1. Writing Wizard

    Sound effects, stickers, and rainbow designs turn this app into a cool environment for kids to trace capital and lowercase letters. "The animation kept my 4-year-old daughter's attention," said the parent of one tester.

  2. iTrace

    iTrace is another highly engaging writing app that doesn’t simply provide letters for kids to trace. Instead, it considers how different kids write. Kids write the same letter several times — the only way to develop muscle memory. iTrace is the only app that can be adjusted to the specific needs of left-handed kids with a single switch making it one of the best writing apps for kids.

  3. Hip hop hen: ABC letter tracing

    This app is an adorable way to explore pre-writing skills, cursive letter formation, and form print. In this app kids are encouraged to link sounds to letters, be creative through coloring and note writing, identify patterns, and so much more. This is a fantastic app for fine motor and literacy development.
