Central Ohio-based Zaner-Bloser, publishers of leading educational aides, has begun distributing some of its most popular programs as mobile apps for teachers, parents and students. Recently Zaner-Bloser announced its Handwriting app was available for iPhones and iPads. The app, which was included in the “What’s Hot” section of the iTunes store, uses unique letter animations to demonstrate letter formation. The app includes built-in hints and rewards to encourage learning and engage young students.
"The Zaner-Bloser Handwriting Apps are a great way to engage young children in handwriting – one letter at time. This is a great tool for both parents and teachers in PreK, Kindergarten and the primary grades. Having legible handwriting and the ability to write with ease are important skills for children in today's world of high-stakes testing with handwritten sections," said Bob Page, president of Zaner-Bloser.
The company has also released an app for cursive writing and for print and cursive writing in Spanish.
