iTRACE — HANDWRITING AND LETTER TRACING FOR CLASSROOMS AND HOME LEARNING
iTrace helps children learn to write letters, numbers, words, and shapes through guided tracing and playful repetition. Designed with educators, it turns handwriting practice into an engaging and effective learning experience for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary students.
Each exercise teaches proper letter formation and fine-motor control step by step. Children trace each shape or letter multiple times, building confidence through repetition, gradual improvement, and positive reinforcement. The app adapts to each child’s pace, helping develop strong handwriting habits that transfer to pencil-and-paper writing.
iTrace is suitable for both classroom use and learning at home, supporting structured instruction as well as independent practice.

I tried out several handwriting apps before settling on this one. This is really the best one out there! I really like the self-correcting feature that helps children learn to keep their lines within the space and correct stroke order. I love the ability to add words for my daughter to practice spelling and writing.The correct stroke order is HUGE for me. I’m a teacher and I see SO many students forming their letters with the wrong stroke order and it leads to confusion with certain letters. I also see many students who have incorrect placement of letters, particularly those going below the baseline - g, j, p, q, y. To that end, one important thing I would like to see added is writing guide lines so children work on placement on the line and letter formation simultaneously. It would really help to have the letters being practiced displayed on guide lines and still keep the self-correcting feature ensuring correct stroke order. It might also be nice to have some control over how much they have to stay within the letter tracing to make it more challenging as children advance to encourage neater, more precise letter formation. Overall, this is a great app!
We Freaking LOVE IT!!!
Diana Mathieu's mom
Let me start by saying I am in love and thankful for your App. I swear it's the best! my name is Diana and I'm a stay at home Mom/Teacher to my son (which by the way just turned 3 in December.) and I introduced your app to him so that he can have some kind of practice tracing. I can tell you that he picked it up quick by the second day, and he loves it. I had to purchase the full app to get everything you guys provide. Thank you for making tracing that much easier to teach... To all the moms out there this is the best app there is ...
Great Learning Tool
Mm010411
I use this app for tutoring 4-6 year olds but it's fine for pre-readers as well as for older children to help with handwriting/vocabulary. The option to add your own words and photos really boosts the power and longevity of this app. Many apps have busy graphics and annoying rewards that can kill concentration, but this app has very clean and simple graphics, with the optional pleasant background music. The creator really strives to make this a great learning tool for children.
Helps me manage small groups

My students love this program. I am a resource teacher. Many of my students have difficulty with cursive writing. So I use this app to help manage my students in groups. While I work with one student, the others use the app to practice their handwriting. Also, the app developers are very responsive. I had a question and they replied within three hours!
