1.0 out of 5 stars Startwrite Starts Wrong for the Wrong Reasons
I bought this program to prepare handwriting programs for my students at home on my own time. I am an occupational therapist with a large amount of students I am responsible for whose teachers use this program. Each time I create a document it opens with the "Startwrite" icon covering the text. I have to restart my computer to get rid of it. I had to delete all my...

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL Product! Very versatile and easy to use., May 24, 2007

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars there is a 6.0 out there, October 4, 2011

This review is from: StartWrite Handwriting Software 5.0 (CD-ROM)
From their site, I downloaded the trial version to see if it was worth it for my SN child who struggles with writing. Turns out there is a 6.0 out there with MUCH better features. I thought you could only trial the 5.0, but you can do both So if you happen to have the 5.0 and want to upgrade, they have a special price. would highly recommend this product.

I bought this program to prepare handwriting programs for my students at home on my own time. I am an occupational therapist with a large amount of students I am responsible for whose teachers use this program. Each time I create a document it opens with the "Startwrite" icon covering the text. I have to restart my computer to get rid of it. I had to delete all my work. I have this program at work. I do not have this problem when I use the school district's Startwrite program. This company is too worried about illegitimate use of their product. It is illegitimate to sell this product outright to unaware buyers and make it different to access. I wasted my money.

4.0 out of 5 stars startwrite, April 6, 2010
This review is from: StartWrite Handwriting Software 5.0 (CD-ROM)
This is a great educational tool. I bought it for my daughter because she was in kindergarten and having difficulties with handwriting. I found that I could use it for more than just handwriting, I can make sight word worksheets and select the words she is working on in class. I can use it to make math worksheets (and even add pictures to help her count, since there is a clip art file included. Since you have a choice of manuscript, and cursive I will be able to this software from for many grade levels. This software can be used also for crafts such as scrapbooking. I really think it is worth the money be all means. It is also hassle free, really easy to use. I would recommend it to any one. I am glad a former teacher friend told me about it.StartWrite Handwriting Software 5.0

5.0 out of 5 stars Startwrite is wonderful!, March 15, 2010

This review is from: StartWrite Handwriting Software 5.0 (CD-ROM)
This product came recommended by a friend, and boy was she right. It is so painfully easy to use - I was able to start creating copywork for my kiddos immediately. The only thing I wish it would do (and this could be user error...) is I wish that you could mix & match the style of lettering on a page...my pre-k child still needs to trace the dotted letters, but I would also like to have the regular lined letter to present next to it as well. Still, an excellent product. And I had the product within two days!
