## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it suitable for a left handed?**
A: Sort of my boy is left handed but he wants to write the letters in opposite direction ie for H he does the stroke across from right t left but it will only let u do left t right. He does manage but its tricky and he gets cross

**Q: Totally confused as some say it’s british while others say this is the american version. does it say z as in “zed” or “zee”?**
A: Mine says “Zed” (not “Zee”) but speaks with an American accent.

**Q: does this item have a feature where my child can write a word from a story book and hear what that word sounds like?, if not any suggestions ?**
A: This item has only coaching for individual letters or numbers.I rate it highly for helping to correctly form letters (in upper or lower case) and numbers.Try Alphablocs for spelling and voicing words.Hope this is helpful.

**Q: Hi, do children follow a light to trace the letter or dotted lines? Thank you**
A: They follow the dotted line. 
It shows the child how to do it, then they have a go. It's really good, my 4 year old loves it and finds it easy to follow. 
You have to pretty much follow the dots, otherwise it will make you start again.

Superb learning device. Has helped 2 of my children perfect their letter formation now my 3 year old who's been using it can write her name as well as other words too! Very sturdy, built to last and well made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good interactive product for an almost 3 year old
*by S***C on 27 November 2025*

Purchased for 2.8yr old who is obsessed with phonics right now. Good options for writing (tracing), spelling, reading and drawing. You can add 3 names for your child to learn the spelling which is good. The pencil sensitivity is good. Only niggle is that the accent is in American English, not British. Z is still ‘Zed’ and not ‘Zee’ which is good but words like ‘draw’ our in American accent.
