LetterSchool review
A focused preschool app for letter formation with useful early-learning extras.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LetterSchool is an early-learning app for preschool and early-primary children, with a clear emphasis on handwriting and foundational literacy. Its activities guide children through tapping, tracing and writing letters, with practice for uppercase and lowercase forms. The app also covers phonics, spelling, numbers 1–10 and geometric shapes. Parents, teachers, schools and occupational therapists are the intended audiences, while multiple learning and menu languages, ad-free activities and separate school use support different settings.
Its standout feature is the structured approach to letter formation. Silver and Gold learning levels provide progression, while selectable handwriting typefaces let families choose a preferred writing style. Progress tracking and up to three player profiles on one device make it easier to follow more than one child’s learning. Offline play adds flexibility, and printable activities extend learning beyond the app. These features make LetterSchool a practical fit when handwriting, phonics and early spelling are the main priorities.
The published plans include a free plan and a 7-day free trial. The Annual plan costs $22.99 per year, equivalent to $1.92 per month, and includes full learning content. The Monthly plan costs $2.99 per month with full learning content, while the Lifetime plan costs $44.99 as a one-time purchase and provides lifetime access. LetterSchool is a good choice for families seeking focused literacy and handwriting practice across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Choose a broader preschool app instead if you need wider subject coverage beyond its letters, phonics, spelling, numbers and shapes focus.
