## What is CaliKids?

CaliKids turns learning to write into a game. Designed for young children, it guides little hands from their very first strokes to full words and sentences — in beautiful school-style handwriting.

Seven playful activities:
Alphabet — trace every letter (a–z) with animated stroke order.
Connect Letters — form each letter by joining the dots in the correct writing order.
Connect the Dots — 15 fun pictures to complete point by point.
Words & Sentences — practise real vocabulary and phrases.
Guess — see a picture and write the word (it reads the child's handwriting!).
Strokes — pre-writing patterns to warm up little hands.

Made for kids, loved by parents and teachers:
• School cursive fonts and 11 ruled-paper templates.
• Three difficulty levels that grow with your child.
• Collectible stickers, progress rings and encouraging voice feedback.
• Hint button and an easy partial eraser — mistakes are no problem.
• Light and dark mode, always full-screen and portrait.
• Full Apple Pencil support.

Available in 6 languages: Spanish, English, Italian, French, German and Portuguese.

Start writing today — one dot, one letter, one smile at a time.
