Cursive handwriting for home and school

From letter formation to independent writing.
One stroke at a time.

Children watch each letter being formed, trace it, then write it on their own. Skhillz Script™ follows each stroke from start to finish, helping learners understand not just what a letter looks like, but how to form it themselves.

Works on a tablet, phone, or laptop. Two children on every family plan. No advertising to children, ever.

Cursive still matters. How it is taught matters too.

Cursive has quietly slipped down the list in a lot of classrooms, and families are often left to teach it themselves with a worksheet and good intentions. The trouble with a worksheet is that it can only show the finished shape. It cannot see where a child started, which way they went round, or whether the letter was drawn rather than written.

Handwriting is a movement before it is a picture. Formation, direction, repetition and fluency are the parts that make writing feel automatic later, and they are exactly the parts a printed sheet cannot respond to. Skhillz Script™ was built to watch the movement and say something useful about it.

Four steps, every letter

  1. 1

    Watch

    The pen forms the letter at writing speed, pausing only where the hand truly lifts.

  2. 2

    Trace

    They follow the guided path from the green dot. The letter fills in solid behind them, but only where they actually travelled.

  3. 3

    Write it three times

    Three scored attempts with the guide faded almost away. Each one gets a specific note, never just a number.

  4. 4

    Master it

    An average of 70% across the three completes the letter, up to three stars. Below that, back to guided tracing and try again.

What makes it different

It follows the route

Most tracing apps reward covering enough of the letter, which means they cannot tell a written letter from a filled-in one. Skhillz Script tracks progress along the stroke and checks the movement is going the way the letter is formed.

Taught by stroke family

Cursive a, b and c ask for three unrelated hand movements. Letters here are grouped by the motion they share, so each lesson practices one movement until it starts to feel natural.

Progress that reflects real mastery

Letters and lessons are completed by demonstrated performance, not by tapping through. A certificate cannot be issued until every letter in the set has genuinely been earned.

Seven levels, first letter to independent writer

Each level builds on the one before it, gradually reducing support as learners gain confidence, control and fluency.

Families

Structured cursive practice a child can do at home, with progress a parent can actually follow.

Built with children’s privacy in mind

Designed by educators. Built for real practice.

Skhillz Script™ is developed by Skhillz Academy, with an approach built on structured practice, specific feedback and progress that has to be earned rather than clicked through.

Every letter in the program is taught with its real stroke order, its real direction and its real pen lifts, because those are the parts that make handwriting hold together later.

Questions parents ask

What can my child write on?

A tablet, a phone or a laptop. A tablet is the most comfortable because the writing area is bigger, but a finger on a phone works, and so does a trackpad or a mouse on a laptop.

Do we need a stylus?

No. A finger is fine. A stylus feels closer to holding a pencil, so use one if you have one, but nothing is gated behind it.

How many children are included?

Two on every family plan, each with their own profile, their own PIN and their own progress. You can add up to four more children after that, so a family plan covers six children in total.

How is a letter actually scored?

By the route, not by how much of the letter got covered. Progress is tracked along the stroke and the direction of travel is checked, so a letter is credited only when it was genuinely written the way it is formed.

What happens if my child does not reach 70%?

They go back to guided tracing on that same letter and try the set again. Nothing is marked failed, no progress is taken away, and there is no limit on attempts.

Can I cancel?

Yes, whenever you like. An annual plan runs to the end of the year you paid for, and a monthly plan to the end of the month.

How is my child’s information protected?

Profiles are created by you and hold only what running the service needs. We never ask for a child’s surname. Children are shown no advertising, and their information is not sold. See the Children’s Privacy Notice.

Can homeschool families and tutors use it?

Yes. A family plan covers two learners at home. For a co-op, a tutoring practice or anything with a roster, see Schools & Organizations.
