Cursive

TFS – Canada’s International School, in partnership with Tapfun, is excited to welcome you to Écrire en cursive, a free app that allows users to practise their cursive writing skills, all in French!

Screenshots

Teaches children how to correctly write letters in cursive using visual modelling. Follows the French “Seyes” lining for height and stroke. Positive feedback is instantaneous, to encourage improvement.

After completing each letter, an example phrase is shown including an image of the object and clear pronunciation.

New letters are presented in a structured sequence. Students begin with the letters in level 1 and progress through 7 levels.

Teachers assign avatars for each child for simple classroom-based login.

The app includes two levels of sensitivity designed for students to use a finger (less sensitive) and also a stylus as shown (more sensitive).

Céline Lebel: Constantly Inspiring Young Learners

Céline Lebel, born and raised in Montpellier, in the south of France, launched her teaching career in 2002. Having studied in France, England and the United States, she received her bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Linguistics and her Qualified Teacher Status (French and Spanish as a second language).

Celine’s teaching style is modeled after how she would want her own children to be taught. She takes great pride in having an impact on the lives of her little learners and developing the foundation that will help form their future.

She is currently a Grade 1 teacher and primary coordinator for information technology at TFS – Canada’s International School.

When Céline isn’t teaching, preparing for her M.Ed. this year, or creating apps, you can find her spending quality family time with her husband and sons, or squeezing in training time for a 10 km race.

Testimonial

« I like the tactile functionality of the app, which gives students immediate feedback and allows them to master proper letter formation. The students really like the app because it provides them with a sense of responsibility and control over their learning. »
