I have FIVE codes up for grabs for an app which is a personal favourite of mine and the Tot. We're big fans.
Huge.
There are many, many letter writing apps about but this is the one Tot returns to time and time again.
It is full of bright and bold animations and funky methods of forming letters, candy canes and train tracks for example. We've had this app a while now and Tot still isn't bored and that is a recommendation in itself.
Have a look at Heather's review of LetterSchool: http://www.smartappsforkids.com/2012/04/letterschool.html
