I ordered Startwrite on Tuesday and received it in the mail on Thursday! Talk about great service. I
have already begun using it with my four and six year old sons. I love the flexibility of the program -
copywork, scripture memory, spelling words - the ideas are endless! Thanks for making a great product
available at an affordable price(...)

I've been using this program for about two years now. It is so versatile. So many choices in making up worksheets. I love that I can tailor my daughter's penmanship to what she really needs to work on. Specific letters, cursive, manuscript. Whatever she needs to work on and I can keep it at her level. I often make up worksheets with her spelling words, so she gets practice at both spelling and cursive at the same time.

I also love all the font choices. We use Palmer Cursive, but there are many other choices as well. I highly recommend this product.

Great product! My 4 year old son excelled in writing his letters after we started using this software. It is super easy to print out what ever letters (or words) you want the kids to practice writing. I love how it will grow with my pre-schooler to elementary school when he starts writing sentences and paragraphs.
