The handwriting app that makes kids want to practise. Trace Australian school letterforms to unlock the next page of the story — every word earned, every page a reward.
No skipping ahead. No passive swiping. The story only moves when the words are traced.
The first scene appears with a sentence to complete. Narration waits until your child traces the focus word.
Letters appear one at a time with a guided path. Children trace the correct Australian school letterforms — stroke order, direction, and joins — with their finger.
When a word is fully traced, it is spoken aloud clearly. Your child hears exactly what they wrote — immediate, satisfying feedback.
The sentence is complete — the story advances. Children want to know what happens next. That curiosity is the practice.
8–12 pages each, written with Prep-level Dolch sight words and CVC vocabulary. First two stories are free to play — no sign-up required.
