Latest updates
3.5.2
• New sight-word lists: We've added the popular Dolch and Fry sight-word lists, the most common words children meet in early reading and writing.
• Smoother tracing: We've improved how tracing is detected and drawn, so letters and words feel more responsive as your child writes.
• Worksheet fix: A new worksheet layout for iPhone makes the font size control much easier to use on smaller screens.
• Bug fixes and stability: We fixed several crashes and a number of smaller issues to make practice time more reliable.
