PointScribe Fundamentals

It's ten days into our KickStarter campaign and things are heating up. Thanks to everyone who has pledged in these early days and to those who are considering participation. We see the momentum in terms of traffic and contact: we are grateful for your enthusiasm and interest.

In our KickStarter profile we have the opportunity to talk about our mission and meeting the demand for development of PointScribe for iPad/Apple operating systems. We talk about PointScribe's appeal across all student populations and how WELL it works. We want to take this opportunity to show you HOW it works so well.

PointScribe is based on Four Fundamentals:

1.  PointScribe never allows a student to write a shape incorrectly.

2.  PointScribe always responds with positive reinforcement when students:

• Begin writing a shape from the correct start position.
• Continue to write each stroke in the correct direction.
• Write a shape following the correct sequence of strokes for that shape.
• Complete the shape at the correct end point of the final stroke in that shape.

3.  PointScribe consistently responds by requiring the student to re-write a stroke when it detects that a student:

• Attempts to write the stroke in the wrong direction.
• Inappropriately lifts the stylus (or finger) from the screen while completing a stroke.
• Writes outside of the shape outline.

4.  PointScribe continually analyzes handwriting data to provide detailed
reports for more effective teaching, assessment, and intervention.
