On the iPad it becomes the worksheet.

Trazos knows the school stroke order for every letter, shows the start dot and the arrow, then measures what the child drew against the model. The stroke is resampled and three numbers make one score. **40** shape **30** direction **30** coverage ### **40** Shape The mean distance from the drawn stroke to the model. Within 3 percent of the letter's box is full marks; 10 percent off is nothing. ### **30** Direction Which way the stroke went. A backwards stroke still passes, but it scores no more than 70, and the first time a tip says: start at the dot and follow the arrow. ### **30** Coverage How much of the model the stroke actually covered, and a stroke only counts once it reaches both ends. Half a B is not a B. A stroke passes at 60. The mean over the whole letter gives the stars: one at 60, two at 70, three at 85. ### A letter never fails 1. “Almost, try the arrows,” and the stroke replays to show the way. 2. It replays again. 3. And once more. 4. The next try is let through, so nobody gets stuck. Show me animates the stroke any time. Little hands, in the parent area, widens every tolerance by half. ## Try the scorer. Trace the A with a mouse, a finger or a pen: start at the dot, follow the arrow. The same three measures, weights and stars as the app, rewritten in a few lines of JavaScript for this page. It is a demo, and nothing you draw leaves the page. A tracing pad with the letter A. Draw each stroke with a pointer, or use Trace for me. 1 Stroke 1 of 3 shape**0** direction**0** coverage**0** stroke**0** Start at the dot. on the ipad ## Not a phone app stretched. A worksheet. On an iPad, Trazos is a different layout: a rail of activities down the side, a sheet of paper in the middle, tools beside the sheet. Landscape or portrait, finger or Apple Pencil. 1. ### The rail is home Who is tracing, then Lines, Letters, Numbers, Words, Mazes, Free writing, My photos and the parent gear. There is no home screen and no back button out of an activity. 2. ### The model letter Every start dot numbered, every stroke arrowed, in school print stroke order. The dots under it count the strokes done. 3. ### Copies on ruled lines Placed by the letter's own metrics: a letter or digit twice, a line three times, a word or a two-digit number once. 4. ### Tools beside the sheet Name, Sound, Show me, Start over, Next. Beside the page in landscape, under it in portrait, and on the other side in left-handed mode. ### Apple Pencil hover On M2 iPads and later, the start dot grows when the tip hovers near it, and a ring shows where it will land. ### The whole alphabet at a glance Twenty-six letters on one screen with their stars, one tap to lowercase or cursive. ### Three stars and confetti The card stays until the child taps Again or Next, so there is time to look and, with the unlock, to keep a photo of the work. ## Lines before letters. Eighteen pre-writing strokes, ordered easy to hard: the ones a hand practises before the alphabet. The same scorer marks them, and the iPad worksheet has each one traced three times. The first eight are free. 1. Line down free 2. Line across free 3. Slide down free 4. Slide up free 5. Plus free 6. Zigzag free 7. Castle free 8. Waves free 9. Arches 10. Cups 11. Stairs 12.

Simplified cursive**a to z** 4. Numbers**0 to 20** 5. Picture words**40 English, 40 Spanish** 6. Spanish extras**Ñ, accented vowels** 7. Pre-writing lines**18** 8. Finger mazes**12** ### Name, sound, word Tap to hear the letter's name, the sound it makes, or the whole word. Spoken in English and Spanish, all inside the app. With the alphabet set to Spanish, Ñ and the accented vowels appear too. ### Words with a picture and a voice Forty short words per language. The sticker heads the row, the word is traced letter by letter, and Hear it says it in the word's own language. The first ten in each language are free. ### Mazes for steady hands Twelve mazes, from four by four up to nine by nine. Any number of strokes, each continuing from the last; crossing a wall drops the stroke and costs a star. ## Write anything. Hear it read. A blank lined page, on the iPhone and the iPad. The child writes anything, taps Read it, and the app reads the handwriting aloud in the language of the alphabet, on the device. Free writing is never metered, in the free version or after the unlock. ## On the iPhone, one big letter per screen. The phone keeps it simple: the letter fills the paper and the tools sit under the thumb. Same scoring and the same voices as the iPad. - Six activities, one kid at a time. - Start dot, arrow, a score for every stroke. - Three stars and confetti. - Letters, numbers, cursive. Stars for each. - Mazes for steady hands. for grown-ups ## A parent area behind a sum. It opens with a one-digit multiplication typed on a keypad, checked as soon as the digits are in. Quick for an adult, a wall for a small child. A miss asks another. ### Up to four kids Each with a name, a colour and their own stars. Switch from the rail on the iPad or the chips on the phone. ### A heat map of every letter Green, yellow or red for each of the fifty-two by best score, grey until traced, so the letters that need work stand out. Shown here with example scores. ### Practice sheets PDFs of letters, numbers, cursive, lines or mazes, the first copy solid and the rest dashed. Three are free, the unlock makes them unlimited. ### Left-handed and little hands Left-handed mode moves the tools out from under the hand. Little hands widens every tolerance by half. Try both switches. ## Free to start. One unlock, once. No subscription, no ads. Here is exactly what the free version holds and what the unlock adds. Progress, profiles and free writing are never metered. The unlock sells the rest of every set and the extras, never what the child already traced.

The letter names, sounds and words are recordings inside the app, so it all works offline. ## Questions about Trazos **Finger or Apple Pencil?** Both. A finger works on every iPhone and iPad. An Apple Pencil is the nicest way to use it, and on M2 iPads and later the start dot grows when the tip hovers near it. **How is a stroke scored?** The stroke is resampled and compared with the model: shape counts 40 percent, direction 30, coverage 30. A stroke passes at 60 percent. The mean over the letter gives one to three stars, and a letter never fails: after three misses the stroke is let through so nobody gets stuck. **Which letters and languages?** Print uppercase and lowercase, a simplified cursive, numbers 0 to 20, and forty short words in each of English and Spanish with a picture and a recorded voice. With the alphabet set to Spanish, N with tilde and the accented vowels appear too. **What is different on the iPad?** The iPad gets its own layout, not the phone one stretched. A rail of activities on the side, a worksheet page with the model letter and copies on ruled lines, the whole alphabet on one screen, and tools beside the sheet in landscape. The phone keeps a single big letter per screen. **Does it print?** Yes. The parent area makes practice sheet PDFs, US Letter or A4, for letters, numbers, cursive, lines and mazes. Three are free, the unlock makes them unlimited. ## Get Trazos Free to download, with one unlock, once. No account, no ads, nothing to connect to.
