MeddleKidz Alphabet Master iOS:
iPadOS
Overview
When my son began his handwriting journey, he had a persistent habit of shaping lowercase letters as though they were uppercase. To address this, I would print out specialized sheets with lined guides to help him understand the nuances of ascenders, descenders, and the ideal positioning of letters relative to the line’s midpoint.
This experience inspired me to create MeddleKidz Alphabet Master, a tablet app designed to make it easier to learn how to write properly. Unlike traditional PDFs, the app provides a digital canvas featuring a grid of muted, dashed letters, making it easy for a child to trace and internalize correct forms. The app’s interactive nature eliminates the need for endless printing, allowing for convenient erasing and retracing. Moreover, the option to change writing colors adds an element of fun and engagement.
