Choose a language and a theme. Every click builds a new sheet of words to trace and then write alone.
Tracing single letters teaches shapes; tracing whole words teaches writing. The moment letters have to join, a child meets spacing, sizing and the rhythm of moving across a line — none of which appear when practising the alphabet in isolation. Each line here starts with a model, then repeats it in pale grey all the way to the edge of the page, so the hand keeps moving and the shape is repeated enough times to stick.
