This program grew from my experience home-schooling my own primary-aged youngsters. I discovered by watching them that, although their letters looked acceptable when finished, they were not forming their letters with the proper strokes. They were wasting a great deal of motion, effort, and time. Proper strokes are important, as they lead to fluency, speed, and ease in handwriting and expression. Children see plenty of examples of well-formed letters every day. What they don窶冲 see is the proper stroke sequence required to achieve the letters. The sequence is typically represented in penmanship books by numbered arrows, but that requires a level of abstraction that not many young children have developed yet. So I created this stack to allow them to see 窶徇ovies窶 of the letters being drawn.
