(1) Ready to Print https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/ready-to-print/id513780564?mt=8 €9.99 is an app I have used and is appropriate for Infant classes. It develops fine motor and pre-writing skills. It was created by an occupational therapist. There are thirteen different activities ranging from pinching, touch and drag, patterns and letter formation.
(2) This app develops fine motor skills and writing readiness. As letter formation is one of the activities it provides revision of letter recognition.
(3) I rate this app as a 5 having used it for two and a half years with four infant classes on a weekly basis. There are thirteen activities and 194 different levels and therefore plenty of varied work to be completed over the course of the school year.
(4) This app is appropriate to be used once per week for 15 mins with Infant classes, guiding the class through the activities and when to progress to the next level. One letter per week can be completed in line with whatever letter is being completed in the writing workbooks/copy.

It is a weekly creative writing challenge for children under 16 years of age. Each week a prompt is given, which can be a picture or a series of individual words and the children can use up to 100 words to write a creative piece. This should be posted on a class blog and then linked to the 100 Word Challenge blog.
