Trazos: Trace Letters & ABC

No internet, no ads, no accounts. A letter is a path, and the app checks the path rather than the drawing, so the stroke order is learned right from the start.

Trazos teaches 4 to 6 year olds to write numbers and letters with a finger.

A letter isn't a shape: it's a path. An "8" isn't drawn any which way, and the stem of a "b" comes before the bowl. Trazos checks that path — where it starts, in what order, which way it goes — not just whether the finished drawing looks about right. That's the whole difference from tracing over a template.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Strokes: 14 pre-writing levels, the waves and loops that come before letters. • Numbers: 0 to 9. • Let's count: match a quantity to its number. • Vowels: A E I O U, uppercase and lowercase. • Consonants: the remaining 22, including Ñ. • Fruit and letters: match each fruit to its first letter. • My name: the child's own name, letter by letter.

HOW IT TEACHES

Every level is done three times: full guide, faint guide, no help at all. One star per stage. Numbered circles show where each stroke starts, and arrows show which way it goes.

Getting it wrong costs nothing: no lives, no timer, no score to lose. Start over as many times as you like.

BUILT WITH PARENTS IN MIND

• Works offline. All the content ships with the app. • No ads, no purchases, no accounts, no analytics. • Collects no data. Nothing leaves the device. • Settings sit behind a gate a five-year-old won't cross. • One permission: vibration. • Left-handed mode, so the hand doesn't cover the stroke. • High contrast, for bright sunlight or a dim room.

Sit next to your child while they use it. What they're learning isn't an app: it's how to hold a pencil.
