This was the first toy I got for my 3 y old daughter so she can learn to write and it was awesone she learn to write the letters in less than a month. I sat with her at the biginnig but then I found her playing with it by herself many times. The only thing is that it only have the upper case letters not the lower. But it was a very good toy!

This review is from: Vtech - Write & Learn Letter Pad (Toy)

We ordered this toy after reading some of the reviews. We were looking forward to having our son start using this toy to help him improve his writing skills. We were disappointed to find out that the writing recognition technology (even though it works great) does not recognize the correct letters written. For example, we were practicing the letter G. We wanted to see what happened if we entered a wrong letter. After entering an "A" instead of "G" and pressing the check mark, the toy claimed a correct response. This is very misleading for young writers. Other things we did not like about the toy were its tiny screen and the fact that it only teaches upper case letters. We did like the fat grip pen and the spoken and visual directions. Over all the toy is fun and education, but we would like to see Vtech fix or improve these issues.

Thanks

This review is from: Vtech - Write & Learn Letter Pad (Toy)

We received this as a gift for my son's 5th birthday. My son has Autism, and until we got this toy he had no interest in writing letters. Now, he turns it on and comes to get me to help him write. He still isn't doing it independently, but with my hand guiding him, he's getting better at writing. Most importantly, he's excited about writing now. I've begun having him use the toy to give him the instruction, but write the letter on paper instead of the toy's pad. This will help him transition to writing in school.
