Handwriting can sometimes be seen as unimportant in our technology driven world. For visual learners, however, the ability to quickly and legibly write down ideas that they are learning in school is essential.
Visual learners can get so caught up in what they are writing that they miss some of the information coming at them while they are writing. But how can we get them accustomed to writing without making it a chore?
Fall ushers in the excitement of a new school year, full of possibility. While you’re helping your child get ready for a new classroom and a new teacher, you may be wondering what else you can do to prepare him for a successful school year.

It’s common over the summer for the kids to lose some of those hard-earned handwriting skills that they practiced all year at school. With all the playing and creating, they may not get a lot of opportunities to physically write things down to stay in practice. We’ve made something great just for you.

Tablets and phones can be utilized as valuable teaching tools for your children, their mobility means they can go anywhere a child does and a great way to encourage your children to be tech savvy. We’ve curated a list for you. Here are 7 of my favorite literacy apps.
