abc Joined Up

‘abc Joined Up’ is an interactive app for iPhone & iPad that helps children learn how to write cursive/joined-up handwriting.

The app was created for Letter Layers, a Surrey-based educational software company, based on their patented method of teaching cursive handwriting.

Each activity is illustrated using step-by-step animations, which the child repeats to build up their handwriting confidence. A voiceover provides helpful tips and praise when activities are completed successfully, as well as bringing a human element to the app.
