Review Highlights:
The activities were engaging and offered multiple attempts with different animations and sounds. The use of "the magic c" for cursive repetition and the fun use of "helicopter" and "bump" like bumper cars are very accessible for students. The integrative resources to approach different topics through the teachers guide and the cross referencing of the resource feature were also very helpful. Some online use is difficult due to use of a mouse like a pencil, which may not be directly transferable offline, but overall it definitely helped improve fine motor control and development of letter and number formation.
This whole writing series is a very comprehensive program for multiple ages. It allows implementation totally structured or DIY as a teacher may see fit for his or her own student community. It's a great resource for homeschooling or additional practice after school or in a tutoring program. My 4th grader was very engaged with the product and I saw an improvement in his handwriting as letter sizing and spacing became more consistent.
