CRABBY WRITER -read/write FREE

Teacher developed app. Crabby Writer teaches early writing, reading, literacy and phonics for Preschool, Kindergarten, and first (1st) grade.

Our teacher-designed phonics and literacy game includes alphabet sounds (phonemes), rhyming words, themed words, spelling, proper letter formation, pincer-grip action, and a keep sake scrapbook designed to remind players of word meanings. It is fun to write in the sand, collect sea shells, and decorate sandcastles on our welcoming beach. Sand writing can now be at your child’s fingertips as we reinforce both phonics and rhyming structure. A literacy specialist who was among the first to try it out remarked, “What if learning to read had been this fun when we were young?”

It’s fun to learn to read and write on this beautiful beach, where waves wash from sea to sand, clearing a new surface for learning on phone-sized or tablet-sized devices.
