2. Introduction • The Alphastrokes ABC learning preschool font, flashcards, worksheets, and videos (as well as the Alphastrokes free ABC learning resources) provide teachers and parents with the tools to properly introduce the alphabet to young learners. • Each of the Alphastrokes products uses the Alphastrokes font, a kindergarten font specifically designed for teaching children correct stroke sequences and strong penmanship habits. • The suite of Alphastrokes products helps children develop letter recognition, penmanship, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary; and these resources are equally well suited for individuals at home or groups of students in the classroom.

3. What is the Alphastrokes tracing font? • The Alphastrokes tracing font is a TrueType font that assists kindergarten students in printing the letters of the English alphabet correctly and efficiently.  • It provides lines containing dotted letters for students to trace with the starting position and stroke directions illustrated for each letter, number, and punctuation mark.   • The Alphastrokes tracing font has been carefully developed to provide an intuitive, practical introduction to writing the English alphabet.  

4. Why Alphastrokes is the best tracing font on the web • The only tracing font of its kind • As a kindergarten teacher, I am constantly making worksheets for my students who are just beginning to learn to write the letters of the alphabet.  At first I scoured the web for a good font that I could use to teach correct penmanship and stroke order, but I could find nothing!  So I ended up making my own font.  And now it is available for others who are in need of such a font. • Simple, fluid, logical, practical, standard printing technique • After researching and comparing various English alphabet penmanship techniques, I put together a font with the most logical and efficient stroke orders.  Alphastrokes is designed to minimize pencil lifting between strokes and encourage continuous stroke sequences.  It deters young learners from developing crude writing habits, such as forming ball-and-stick letters.  With this font, stroke sequences flow together smoothly to guide early writers to compose letters correctly and efficiently. 

5. How It Works • Starting positions • Starting positions are illustrated with a circle where the pencil should be placed when beginning each letter.  Starting positions are important for developing correct letter formation skills and efficiency in writing.  • For example, the round letters a, c, d, g, o, and q all have the same starting position: on the right, just below the midline.

6. Alphastrokes uses logical stroke orders and continuous stroke sequences to… • Develop letter formation aptitude (encourages phonemic awareness) • Enhance fine motor skills • Avert letter reversal problems (confusing b and d, p and q) • Foster early reading and writing skills • Prepare students for cursive writing
