Letter Formation by Gwimpy app analytics for January 18

Each letter of the alphabet is presented within their family i.e. "long ladder", "one armed robot", "curly caterpillar" and "zigzag". These families represent a common theme for drawing the letter shapes and are used in most English schools. Each letter is animated so that the child can copy, trace the direction of each shape to form the letters. Accuracy is the aim but plenty of practise is required! Please make sure you are watching children when they experiment with drawing the shapes, they need encouragement at this crucial stage.
