the type to learn keyboarding program is a good starter for bad handwriting kids, soothing for adhd
but don't know if it will load on mp, even with a keyboard--
my emate users like ir, and if you can type fast, who wants handwriting!!!!
but get her some soft lead (not hb) triangular pencils fr an art supply store, they reduce muscle strain and help promote a tripod grip
get her writing, cursive, it's easier than printing-- the c.o.t.a. organization

has handwriting practice books that are great
hangman with the dolch and thousand most common words in english dictionaries, is good for young kids
word sleuth/merlin bumps up the built in dictionary of the spell checker
word newt dictionary is nice too
peggy su, newtris, amazing (mazes good for pencil control)
also reptile....all popular with my guys
how about bernies bookreader and some books?
someone had harry potter---you might need to break into chapters, 2000 hasn't the power of the 2100--
things like the wind in the willows are avail fr proj gutenberg in txt, then you can either put into works,use txt to speech, or make a book easily with paperback...
these things are cool
how abt making her a backdrop wi avi's, hello kitty is good for the females of all ages...
and if she takes astronomy or the solar system, star chart is astounding to show her classmates...
