• 'Tracing accuracy checking'.
Students are rewarded with a half star or a full star depending on their tracing accuracy and are given 3 attempts before automatically advancing to the next letter or number. The 'tracing accuracy' is set as 'easy' by default and may be changed to 'medium' or hard', or turned off completely. The teacher tracings or customizations are used as the basis for checking the student tracing accuracy. This allows for complete flexibility over stoke directions for left hand writers.
