My Project

My second grade students are lucky to have iPads to use during our daily instruction. Our school district recently adopted a new reading and writing curriculum where students begin learning how to write in cursive in second grade, which used to be third grade.

Students are very excited to learn cursive, but we do not have an app for students to practice with.

We are needing to purchase an app from the Apple app store called Cursive Writing Wizard. This fun and engaging app, teaching students how to correctly form both uppercase and lowercase cursive letters along with learning how to connect cursive letters together to form words! This app we would use weekly as part of our writing stations!
