Better Letters is your personal handwriting trainer,

inspired by the instructional handwriting font work of

UK handwriting specialist Christopher Jarman. The app

provides instructional lectures (audio and written) and

practice fonts with choice of writing style, guidelines, and

directional arrows.

Research shows that the fastest, clearest writers join some

letters, not all of them: making the easiest joins, skipping

the rest. Also, the fastest and clearest writers tend to use

the simplest letter shapes: avoiding the complex,

accident-prone letter forms of conventional cursive. In

fact, the earliest published handwriting books, half

a millennium ago, taught a semi-joined style of this

type (called “Italic” after the style's origins in

Renaissance Italy) well before today's more complicated

cursive came along. Now, more and more people who

seek better handwriting – doctors, teachers, and

ordinary folks of all ages in every walk of life –

are reviving the Italic style. Its high-speed clarity and

simplicity fit the findings of handwriting research and

meet today's continuing need for fast, legible writing

on paper or in a pen computing environment.

BetterLetters puts an Italic handwriting class in

your pocket!

Unlike other handwriting apps, Better Letters soars past

the worksheets. Beyond its sample letters and numerals

to trace and copy, Better Letters includes:

--User-selectable "ink" color. All letter and numeral

examples display in black, but BetterLetters allows you

to trace the on-screen examples in a color of your choice.

--Two style variations on Italic: letters with, or without,

lower-case exit-strokes.(Choose according to personal

taste,or choose whichever feels easier for you to write.)

--A list of 299 practice words, including every letter

combination used in English. (Elsewhere in the

program, you can input your own practice words.)

--Onscreen instructional essays and audio by our

handwriting specialist Kate Gladstone (known

internationally as the “Handwriting Repairwoman”) on

such topics as joins, stroke order, handwriting history,

and speed development.

--Built-in sketchpad to practice and apply your skills.

--Links to handwriting instruction web-sites, selected by

our handwriting specialist, extend your resources for

mastering rapid, readable writing. (REQUIRES

INTERNET CONNECTION: Wi-Fi, 3G.)

WHO WRITES BETTER with Better Letters?

--MDs, nurses, and medical and nursing students can

gain and maintain clear, rapid writing for situations that

require handwriting. (In the most computerized hospitals,

computer networks crash; generators fail. Even when

computers work, doctors must often scribble notes, or

give ward clerks the day's handwritten records to read

and process.)

--Children, teens, and young adults can prepare for

written sections of high-stakes tests. (Since 2003, the SAT

exam for USA high school students includes a timed

handwritten essay: 1/6 of the total score. When schools

neglect handwriting instruction or use counterproductive

methods, Better Letters allows students to gain and

maintain competent handwriting.)

--Parents and teachers – from kindergarten through grad

school -- can boost the legibility and speed of their own

writing in order to teach more effectively. (When a

teacher's handwriting lacks precision and speed, it can

wreck the best-planned lesson or demonstration.)
