Touch and Write is an excellent app to help students practice their hand writing and letter recognition skills. It is currently $2.99, and I have found this app to be an excellent tool to introduce my two year old to the process of forming letters. In addition, I have used the app to provide elementary students with more practice in forming and recognizing letters. The app comes with six word lists, including high frequency words! In addition, an unlimited number of customized word lists can be added (such as spelling lists). Once a list has been created, the students can select their list from a drop down menu. The app then presents the student with the words from the list, and student is guided by the little monster to form the letter correctly. The app will not allow the student to move to the next letter unless the previous letter has been formed correctly. Once the letter is formed by the student, the app reads the letter aloud to the student to reinforce letter recognition. 
Touch and Write "integrates visual, kinesthetic, and simulated tactile modalities to enhance learning - and fun!" You can observe Touch and Write in action by clicking on the video below:
