![]() Ten SMILE-derived porcine lenticules, five nonlasered (107-μm thick, −6 diopter spherical power) and five excimer lasered (50% thickness reduction), were implanted into a 120-μm stromal pocket of 10 porcine eyes. The treatment effects in the lasered group were compared with the nonlasered group with respect to changes in surface functional groups (by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ) and surface morphology (by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy ). I was really taken aback by how clever this app is and so wish it was around when my daughter was younger! It would have saved us money by not having to buy all those lined practice books and made learning to write so much more enjoyable for both my daughter and me.To evaluate the feasibility of excimer laser reshaping of biological lenticules available after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).įresh and cryopreserved SMILE-derived human lenticules underwent excimer laser ablation for stromal reshaping. There have been certain letters that she has refused to write the way I taught her but, using the app, she had to follow the prompted order and directions to see the next picture or graphic. It was even beneficial for my not-so-little one. The navigation is easy and the format keeps things fun for the little ones. I’d highly recommend it as a great tool for parents teaching their kids to write or giving them a little extra practice. ITrace can be purchased for $3.99 through the iTunes store and more information can be found on their website. Plus, it may even add a bit of fun when the child discovers the ‘mystery words’. Each family has different needs that may not be filled by the 500 words pre-programmed into the app. I love the fact that parents have the ability of adding new words. Alternate writing styles can be chosen here, including options for left-handed users. Multiple children can be added, each with their own progress recorded. In the settings, the history of the child(ren)’s sessions is available to see how they are doing. These can only be accessed after answering a simple mathematical problem (i.e. The settings have a number of options that I found useful. Specific letters and numbers can be selected for extra practice if you notice they’re having trouble with certain ones. In the practice section, children are given ‘easy’ letters at first and the difficulty increases as your child’s writing improves. They can begin with using their finger to trace the letters and can switch to using a stylus when ready, making the transition to writing on paper easier. ITrace provides several exercises to get your child used to forming letters properly. Kids will also love that they can practice writing their own name and in a variety of colors. When your child is ready to move onto writing words, they’ll enjoy the themed scenes that have cute animated graphics which move when words are correctly written. Then, they can look for the item in the hide-and-seek mini-game. My daughter used to love them! Three gold stars reveals a mystery word and picture. I can tell you from experience that getting shiny stars is a HUGE motivator. ![]() If they write a letter successfully, they can receive a gold star. The best part about the iTrace app is that kids will actually WANT to use it. iTrace is a brand new app that was just released today for use on the iPad. These days, with kids using smartphones tablets as if they had them at birth, using a handwriting app just makes more sense. At a later point, I found a font with dashed letters and printed little booklets with her name and the alphabet in upper and lower case letters. When I began teaching my daughter how to write, we went through pages and pages of those practice writing sheets. Email iTrace App Review for iPad and Enter the iPad Mini Giveaway…
