Help your child learn to write their letters the way teachers show them: one stroke at a time, starting in the right place and moving in the right direction. ABCs Writer guides every capital and little letter, number, cursive letter and even your child's own name. A pulsing green dot shows where to start, arrows show which way to go, and the path fills in as they trace. Start in the wrong spot or wander off, and that try gently fades away so they can have another go.
