Letter Tracing: Practise Writing Letters With a Finger or Stylus

What is it?

Letter Tracing is handwriting practice that needs no paper. A big dotted letter appears on the pad; your child writes over it with a finger, stylus or mouse, presses โœ“ Check and earns stars for neat writing. English, Hindi and Gurmukhi letters are included.

Who is it for?

Children learning to write (about 3โ€“6 years), parents practising at home, teachers with tablets in class, and older learners starting a new script like Devanagari or Gurmukhi.

How to use it

  1. Choose the script (alphabet) at the top, then tap a letter. Tap ๐Ÿ”Š Hear it to hear the letter.
  2. Trace over the dotted letter with a finger, stylus or mouse, following the stroke order.
  3. Tap โœ“ Check to get up to three stars. Tap Clear to try again, or Play again when it appears.
  4. Not sure how? Tap Try a sample to watch the letter being traced.

Tips

Do a few letters a day rather than the whole alphabet. Practising on screen builds the motion; follow up with a pencil on paper so children develop grip and pressure too.

For parents and teachers

Short sessions work best: 5โ€“10 minutes a day, then something active. Sit with young children, say the answers aloud together, and praise effort, not just right answers. Everything runs on the device with no sign-up, no chat and no data collected about your child.

Errors and how to fix them

  • No sound when tapping ๐Ÿ”Š: turn up the volume, switch off silent mode (on iPhone, the side switch), and check the browser tab isnโ€™t muted. Sounds use your deviceโ€™s built-in voices.
  • Lines not appearing on a phone: draw on the pad itself; scrolling the page instead means the finger started outside the pad.
  • Few stars despite good tracing: stay on the dotted line and cover the whole letter; tracing outside the dots lowers the score.
  • Mouse drawing is hard: a tablet with a finger or stylus feels much more like a pencil.
