Read full description

This application allows you to practice both cursive and printed handwriting using tracing method. It includes uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as words from several languages. A worksheet is provided for each letter, offering a comprehensive learning tool. The worksheet displays an enlarged sample letter, arrows indicate the order in which the elements are written, and a dot marks the beginning of the letter. The process begins with tracing the outline, followed by independent writing, with the aim of accurately repeating the letter pattern. There are two main methods of writing letters: printed letters, where each letter is separated from each other in a word, and cursive, where all the letters are connected in a flowing style. Currently, printed writing is more common than cursive, but this app allows you to learn both styles. The application will assist you in memorising the letters of the alphabet and learning to write correctly and neatly. This process requires dedication and attention to detail. Avoid rushing, and strive to write neatly according to the provided pattern. Pay close attention to the oblique guides and dotted lines that delineate the boundaries of each letter. You may follow the standard alphabetical order for handwriting, or you may choose to learn the letters in a manner that suits you best. FEATURES: - Lots of activity worksheets: lines, shapes, letters, numbers and more - Step-by-step tutorials - Follow your progress - Fully supports finger, Apple Pencil, and third-party stylus inputs --- Privacy Policy: https://asveta.cz/privacy Terms of Use: https://asveta.cz/terms
