Update on the tangent on this thread, mainly for DeHe: I broke down and bought a stylus for the iPad (package of 3 for about $3 on amazon, like pens with a rubber tip). This tool combined with Letter School and our other writing/tracing/drawing apps (Roxie's mazes, Pirate Scribblebeard) is doing wonders for little DS's letter formation and control. I am quite pleased at what the iPad can do to motivate a kid...
