Writing Wizard
Writing Wizard helps children practice tracing letters, numbers, and words. It guides correct letter tracing and lets adults adjust letter size and difficulty or choose whether to display a model. Children can use animated stickers and sound effects, try four games that animate letters, and collect stars in 5-Stars mode. Parents and teachers can create word lists and record audio for each word. Progress reports show traced content, and adults can replay and export tracings. The app also creates PDF handwriting worksheets for printing or email. Word lists can be shared through iCloud Drive, other cloud providers, an ad hoc network, or email. The maker says app data and activities stay on the device and its apps contain no ads. The free download leaves remaining letters and custom words behind an in-app purchase or subscription. Full Access is $2.49 a month, while Lifetime Full Access is $9.99, paid once. The maker says a Windows installer is available upon request.
