It’s no surprise that kids love being on electronics but normal games aren’t the only thing they have to play. If kids are having fun they love educational games too… because they don’t know they are learning at the same time.
Last week Elately has released iTrace a new app made especially for the iPad (regular and mini) that will make learning how to write letters, numbers and word both fun and interesting for your children, while sneaking in that teaching factor. I downloaded the app and let Kendall have at it.
iTrace was created under the guidance of seasoned educational professionals to the iPad’s touch screen to teach children the basics of writing and spelling. Numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, words, and even the child’s own name are all used in a simple, straightforward manner that draws kids in and keeps them interested time and time again.
One feature I like is that the app allows multiple kids to use the app and it will save their history and progress for each user. We only have Kendall using the app since Makenna knows how to do her letters and numbers but I do like the feature of allowing more than one child to learn and have a saved progress history.
The support kids get when drawing using their finger is great because it will tell them it was “too shaky” or “out of bounds” so you and your child know what they need to work on.
Kendall likes doing uppercase letters right now but there is also an option of lowercase letters, numbers, practice and words. After she has successfully completes her letters 3 times an award is given. Next we’ll be moving on to “My Name” where it can help Kendall how to write her name!
iTrace Features:
- 600+ different rewards
- 50 animated objects
- Supports multiple players
- Saves the entire history of each child’s progress
- Supports multiple methods of writing the same letters
- A simple switch adjusts the entire system for left-handed kids
For those of you with an iPad and a young child, this app is a must to check out, you will be happy with iTrace’s ability to simplify the learning process for your child. iTrace can be downloaded at the App Store for $3.99, check it out!
Disclosure: I was provided with an iTrace download in order to facilitate my review as well as a gift to thank me for my time. However, as always, all thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are honest and my own.

Looks like a very cool app.
Sounds fun and educational! I’m looking for more learning tools since I decided not to put my son in preschool.
This sounds like a great app. My son loves to use the iPad but he already wants to play certain apps. I’ve been thinking about clearing the iPad and only putting some apps on there.
This would be wonderful for my grandson to learn how to write the letters! He loves apps!
Sounds like a very cool app!
That is a great idea. I wish this app was also for android!
THATS GREAT FOR CHILDREN THATS MAKING IMPROVEMENT ON THEIR HANDWRITING OR LEARNING HOW TO WRITE

This is a great app!
great app review! Thanks for sharing!
Looks really cool!
I love apps like this that help kids learn. I have found so many others on my iphone that my son loves to play. I only wish I had the ipad so he could use ones like this that aren’t available on the iphone..
I need this for Zoe! Her writing is so sloppy so we are working on writing paper right now.
I wish we had an ipad for this. I love things that educate our kids and yet they have fun with it.
Like all app I’m sure they will come out with an update to support other tabs. Using on the phone might be a little tough for even the small fingers though
This sounds like what we need right now
