How it works

Watch each letter being written

Quillingo shows each letter or word being formed, step by step, on ruled lines. Your child watches where the pencil starts, which way it goes, and where it stops.

  1. 1The letter is formed one stroke at a time, on proper ruled lines.
  2. 2Whole words follow, so letters are seen together, not only alone.
  3. 3Then the joined style your child's school uses.
For their school

The style your school uses

Stories

Stories with Quillo

Practice comes wrapped in a story. Quillo stands in front, the story scene opens up behind him, and your child follows along in stories such as Fawn Rescue and Rainbow Cake.

Progress

Letters, stars, and a streak

Quillingo moves letter by letter along a path through the alphabet: a, then b, then c, and on.

Progress shows up as your child's own stars and a streak on the app's home screen, so a short daily habit is easy to see and easy to keep.

Who it is for

Who Quillingo is for

  • Children learning to write

    Google Play lists Quillingo as Teacher Approved for ages up to 12. The app itself asks for your child's age, between 5 and 10, at setup.

  • Parents who want a short daily habit

    A few minutes a day, at home, with Quillo keeping it fun.

  • Families who already print our worksheets

    Watch the letter in the app, then practise it on paper.

  • Not a replacement for a teacher

    Quillingo is for practice at home. A teacher can see grip, letter shapes, and spacing as your child writes.

App or class

Quillingo or a live handwriting class?

Many families use both: the app for daily practice, the class for a teacher's eye.
