AlphaBug Trace: Learn & Speak turns first letters into gentle, hands-on play. A sleepy little bug waits at the start of a dotted path shaped like a letter. Your child puts a finger on the glowing dot and slowly traces the line โ the bug wakes up and crawls along, all the way to a leaf or flower. Lift off or rush ahead and it dozes back to sleep, so the game quietly rewards calm, careful tracing instead of fast tapping. Every path is a real letter, drawn in proper writing strokes. Most letters are one smooth lane; bar-and-cross letters like E, F, H, K, T and X are traced one stroke at a time, just like writing by hand. When the last stroke is done, the letter appears and is spoken aloud together with a friendly word example โ "A is for Apple" โ so tracing builds letter sounds and first words at the same time. WHAT'S INSIDE โข Capital letters A to Z, plus lowercase a to z with a simple ABC/abc toggle โข A spoken letter and word on every finish, in your chosen language โข A Letters picker to practise any single letter your child likes โข Cheerful bugs, soft colours, and encouraging "You did it!" moments โข Choose A-to-Z order or a friendly shuffle MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS โข No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and no data collection โข Works fully offline, with no special permissions โข A parents' area behind a simple math gate keeps settings and purchases away from little fingers The free version includes the first five letters, A to E, in upper and lower case. A single one-time purchase unlocks the whole alphabet, A to Z, forever โ and a Restore option is always available. Made with love for little hands.
