One Dr. Daniel Bright School teacher was looking for an innovative way to implement handwriting skills to her 1st grade classroom. In collaboration with our school district's occupational therapist and technology department, the Amazon Fire Tablet platform was recommended as it supports the Writing Wizard app seamlessly, offering a responsive and user-friendly experience for handwriting practice. Low Income Student Aid, Inc. was able to provide 6 Amazon Fire tablets for this classroom. Investments like this are only made possible because of donations and grants from our community! This will allow many 1st graders the opportunity to support their handwriting development in the classroom for years to come.
