iTrace (handwriting for kids) 2.6.1

Discover the top app on the App Store for teaching kids handwriting! The free version of iTrace offers all the essential features, but with a limited selection of letters, words, and settings.

"With its engaging and child-friendly interface, along with numerous customization options and progress tracking capabilities, iTrace proves to be an invaluable tool for parents, teachers, and occupational therapists," raves Libby Curran, Teacher of the Year according to People Magazine.

Unlocking all of iTrace's premium features will truly enhance your experience.

iTrace was designed over five years ago to teach children block and cursive letters as well as numbers. Our mission then—and now—is to create a productive and relaxed early childhood education experience that feels natural.

Through our research, we discovered that repetition is key to effective learning. In iTrace, children trace each letter three times across 30 different levels. However, since every child learns at their own pace, the app adjusts the number of levels to cater to individual needs.

This app is ideal for homeschooling or classroom settings at the Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and K1-K2 levels.

Key features of iTrace include:

• Uppercase and lowercase letters
• Cursive and block letters
• Numbers 0 through 9
• Words: child's name, 350 preloaded words from the iTrace library, and unlimited words that you can add
• Support for three different letter fonts: Zaner-Blosser, HWT (Handwriting Without Tears), and D'Nealian (with customized letters for each font!)
• Full support for both left-hand and right-hand handwriting orientation
• Five animated scenes that bring relevant words together for a fun learning experience, featuring 50 animated objects (available on iPad only)
• Progress history for each child
• Unlimited children accounts
• Available at a reduced price with the Volume Purchase Program for educational institutions

iTrace was created with kids in mind:

• The app adapts to your child's individual progress to maintain their interest and promote improvement
• Replaying exercises multiple times gradually increases complexity and difficulty level, resembling a game-like approach to learning
• Over 600 different rewards are given for completing exercises, providing positive reinforcement
• iTrace incorporates context and animation to teach writing, encouraging children to select animated scenes with meaningful combinations of objects

iTrace was also designed to assist parents and teachers:

• Track your child's progress on each individual letter and number to help them master handwriting and evaluate their improvement
• Easily switch to left-handed mode and cursive letters
• Create and print customized PDF worksheets for offline practice

We prioritize your child's privacy:

• No ads within the app. We ensure an uninterrupted learning experience without any unhelpful or irrelevant distractions.
• No collection of personal data. We only require your student's first name for personalization purposes and do not ask for any additional contact details.
• Purchases can only be made by adults from a secure part of the app that is inaccessible to children.

Featured in the "Education" category as one of the Best New Apps on the App Store!

TUAW describes iTrace as "brightly illustrated and well-designed, certain to appeal to young students." Geared toward children aged 3-7, kids can learn to trace uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbers.
