L’Escapdou

L’Escapadou develops thoughtful educational apps for young children, most notably Writing Wizard and Word Wizard, which support early handwriting and phonics. In Writing Wizard, kids trace letters, numbers, or words with their finger or a stylus, receiving immediate visual and auditory feedback as they practice proper strokes. Word Wizard functions as a movable alphabet with speech synthesis, letting children build and hear words as they experiment with spelling. Created by a small family-run studio, the apps prioritize simplicity and customization—parents can add their own word lists, fonts, or recording. Families appreciate the one-time purchase model and the ability to use the apps across multiple kids. They’re best used in short, focused sessions alongside plenty of paper-and-pencil and tactile letter work.
