When we first launched Dotty, we had one clear idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We still believe that paper is one of the best ways for children to practice reading and handwriting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing with a pencil, developing fine motor skills, and learning without distractions are all an important part of the learning process. That’s why Dotty was originally created as a tool to generate personalized worksheets that families could print and use as often as they wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That idea hasn’t changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What has changed is the way many families fit learning into their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some afternoons are perfect for sitting down with a printed worksheet. But there are also road trips, waiting rooms, vacations, and those ten free minutes when printing simply isn’t an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With those moments in mind, we’ve made Dotty even more flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because what really matters has never been the format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What matters is helping children stay motivated to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We believe that writing on paper offers a learning experience that’s hard to replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Holding a pencil, controlling each stroke, and focusing on a blank sheet of paper continue to play an important role in developing handwriting skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why every Dotty activity can still be downloaded as a printable PDF to use at home, in the classroom, or during tutoring sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We haven’t moved away from paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We still believe in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest addition in this update is the ability to complete activities directly on an iPad using Apple Pencil or another compatible stylus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not because we think it’s better than paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But because there are times when it’s simply more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you don’t have access to a printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you only have a few minutes to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And sometimes a child is simply more excited to begin when they can open an activity on the iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now Dotty supports those moments too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This update also brings much more content to the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to creating personalized activities from your own text, you’ll find a growing collection of ready-to-use learning activities, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our goal is to keep adding new activities that encourage children to keep learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every child learns differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why Dotty lets you customize activities to make them easier and more comfortable to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can adjust letter size, spacing, colors, handwriting guides, and even choose the OpenDyslexic font when it’s helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small adjustments can make a big difference in creating a more comfortable learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another new feature is synchronization across devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a Dotty account, you can save your progress and continue whenever you want without losing any completed activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because learning isn’t about doing everything at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s about building a habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And coming back tomorrow ready to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From day one, we’ve wanted Dotty to be a calm, flexible learning tool that respects every child’s pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That hasn’t changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only difference is that now you can choose the format that works best for each moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Print a worksheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or practice directly on iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The learning experience stays the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the latest update you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
