App Description

Yum Yum Letters:lite is a very focused, fun and colorful app dedicated to teaching your child to learn the proper way to make alphabet letters. To learn, the child will choose between a fat juicy caterpillar, smiling snowflake, a fluffy spider or a cute crab to practice writing letters on a cold, frosty glass, on pretty leaves to uncover a juicy red apple, on the sand and on the pumpkin.

FEATURES:
• Learning letters: letter names + sounds + demonstration of letter formation
• Uppercase and lowercase letters, lined paper, white or animated background
• Popular school fonts (ZB, HWT, D'Nealian)
• Motivation system with mini-games rewards
• Customizable settings for up to 30 students
• Detailed progress reports (mistakes marked, video of tracing, reports to email)
• 14 awards to earn for efforts and diligence!

This “smart” app is so cheery and full of positive reinforcement and encouragement, kids will view tracing as a game. They have a choice of scratching out letters with 4 funny characters. Parents also get choices as they can set the app to follow ABC order or present letters developmentally based on starting point and/or type and difficulty of strokes.

After completing a series of letters kids earn a reward which may be helping the caterpillar turn into beautifully decorated butterfly or making a snowflake from jewel-like ice crystals. What little ones won't realize is even the 4 mini-games are building their motor skills and helping develop the control they will need to write.
