Ipad App

I have looked for a good writing app for Junior for awhile now.  Junior cannot use his hands so needs hand over hand help with writing but it still helps him a great deal to write the words he is trying to learn.  So far no app we have tried has worked like we needed it to.  I recently got the Writing Wizard app during a free app Friday and tried it out with Junior this week. 
So far we are really liking it.  My favorite thing is that the app allows me to create my own word lists and for me to record myself saying the words for Junior.  This week we started working on "fall" words so I created a fall word list with words like pumpkin and leaf.  Each word is written in something different such as stars, circles, animals,etc.  When the word is complete it burst apart or has some other animation on the screen which Junior likes(it does not look babyish which is a big bonus).
Here is Junior using the Writing Wizard app with the apple box so he can see what he is writing, on the ipad, up on the tv screen.
