How their first little marks begin
Choose a page, follow the groove and let the compatible ink fade. A simple way to come back to writing practice together.
Get the pen ready
Let them choose a letter, number or picture. Help prepare the supplied compatible pen and position the finger support before you begin.
- Six books of tracing activities

Follow the groove together
The paths are indented into the page, giving the pen a route to follow. Try a few strokes, trace a letter or explore the drawing pages at a comfortable pace.

Let the ink fade. Try again.
The supplied disappearing ink fades so the same activities can be used again. Leave the page until the writing has faded, then return for another short practice.
- Use compatible disappearing ink only
- Wait for the writing to fade before reusing
- Ordinary ink may leave permanent marks
First letters can start with one little path.
A whole blank page can feel like a lot. Where does the pen go? Which shape should you try first? Sometimes a parent just needs a simple place to begin.
Give the pen a path, and take it one mark at a time.
Trace & Grow puts indented tracing paths on the page. Sit together, choose a stroke, letter or number, and try a few lines at a comfortable pace. There is no need to finish the whole page.
Four ways to make room for early writing practice
From guided strokes to familiar letters and numbers, every page offers something small to try together.
Letters & familiar words
Explore letter shapes and trace words alongside the pictures on the page.
Numbers & simple sums
Try number tracing, then explore the addition and subtraction activities together.
A fresh chance to try
With the compatible disappearing ink, writing fades so the same page can be used again.
Keep it short. Make it a moment together.
Early writing practice can fit into an ordinary afternoon. Put a book on the table, let them pick a page and sit alongside while they explore a few marks.
You do not have to finish the page to enjoy the moment.
Help set up the compatible pen and finger grip, follow a few paths together, then put the set away when they have had enough. Come back once the ink has faded and they are ready for another try.

A page, a pen and a little practice.
