Trace and write: learn every letter
A complete learn-to-write journey: every letter of the alphabet in both cases, taught the way handwriting teachers do, in formation families (curve letters, ladder letters, robot letters, zig-zags) with phonics narration for each letter's name and sound. Help fades from watching to guided tracing to free writing, and anti-scribble mechanics make sure finishing means real writing. The bundled curriculum loop watches your child's completions and levels the content up automatically: fresh rounds after every practice, capitals and lowercase, then real words spelled only from letters your child has mastered. Younger kids get one big letter per screen; older kids on tablets get worksheet rows.
A daily handwriting activity: the child watches each letter drawn, writes it with a guided handle, traces it stroke by stroke, then writes it freely. Every letter of the alphabet in both cases, taught in formation families (curves, ladders, robots, zig-zags) with phonics narration, then real words built from mastered letters. Includes anti-scribble mechanics so finishing means real writing. Pairs with the Handwriting curriculum loop, which levels the content up automatically as the child masters each letter.
How it works
- 1Meet the letterSprout introduces one letter at a time: its name, its sound, and how it is written, and demonstrates every stroke.
- 2Write it four waysYour child writes it: first with a guided handle, then tracing dotted strokes, then whole letters with no dots, then free writing.
- 3Letters in familiesLetters are taught in formation families (curve letters like c and o, ladder letters like l and t, robot letters like r and n, zig-zag letters like v and z), lowercase first, then capitals.
- 4Words from mastered lettersThe bundled curriculum loop checks completed practice during the day and levels the canvas up automatically. After each family, your child writes real words spelled only from letters they have mastered.
- 5Fresh rounds, real writingEvery round is a ten-minute arc with anti-scribble checks, so a finished round means real writing, and a fresh round is ready the next time they play.
Instructions
Deliver the linked trace-and-write canvas as a recurring daily task for {{input.kid}} (suggested: daily, ~10 gems, freePlay allowed, grading on finish). The canvas is self-contained: it introduces each letter by name and sound, demonstrates the strokes, then fades help across the round (watch → guided handle → stroke-by-stroke → whole letter → free write). Content between its CURRICULUM markers is maintained by the composed Handwriting curriculum loop — adopt that loop with this same canvas and the delivered task so practice levels up automatically; without the loop the canvas still works, replaying its built-in first round (the letter Cc). Younger children (to ~grade 2) get single letters per screen; older children on tablets get multi-letter practice screens and worksheet rows.

- Included skillHandwriting curriculum loopRecurring handwriting coach: keeps a child's daily trace-and-write canvas leveling up through the full alphabet. Letters are taught in formation families (curves, ladders, robots, zig-zags), each learned lowercase and capital, with help fading from watching to guided handle to tracing to free writing, and decodable words built from mastered letters after every family. Adapts session shape to the child: younger kids write single letters per stage; older kids (grade 3 and up, often on a tablet) get at least two letters per practice screen and worksheet rows.
