Do you still dot practice letters for your students by hand? Wouldn`t you rather type your practice sheets and then print them on your computer printer?
Primary Tablet prints whatever you type in your choice of primary tablet formats, with or without ruled lines, solid or dotted lettering, and with or without directional arrows or color coded starting dots and arrows!
Primary Tablet includes three tablet line styles: no lines, standard primary tablet lines without underline, and standard primary tablet lines with underline. Select one tablet line style for all worksheets, or select a different style for each student.
When you include primary tablet lines, use the default line colors or define new colors for each line (top, middle, base, and underline) to suit your needs.
Primary Tablet 5.0 includes start dot fonts. With start dots, the student places his or her pencil on the first color coded start dot and draws the first line. Then, they place their pencil on the second color coded start dot and draw that line.
The student continues in this manner until they have finished forming the letter. The teacher has the option of including the traceable letter itself within the dots or excluding the letter and placing only the dots or dots/arrows. The FirstDot font gives the student only the first start dot for any given letter.
