Abstract

Learning to write requires letters to be formed using a particular sequence of pen strokes. Teachers are unable to continually monitor large numbers of children to ensure that they are using the correct sequence. A computer application has been developed to monitor the child's progress and provide appropriate feedback when required. This paper discusses the computer application which will be demonstrated to the conference delegates.
