A gray name shows the shape. It does not show the strokes.
Most name sheets print the name in light gray and leave the rest to the child. Many children then start letters at the bottom, draw o and a clockwise and swap b for d. Those habits are hard to undo later.
Turbo puts a numbered dot where each stroke starts and an arrow for its direction. Then each row gives a little less help, until the last row is all their own.
Numbered arrows have research behind them. A University of Washington study compared six ways of teaching 144 first graders who found handwriting hard. The group that studied each letter with numbered arrows, then covered it and wrote it from memory, improved the most.

Questions
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay $19 once and Turbo is yours. Updates to Turbo and the kit are included.
Who can use one Turbo purchase?
One family, or one teacher with their own class, or one therapist with their own caseload. Make as many sheets and books as you like for them. Please do not resell the sheets or share the kit files publicly.
What age is it for?
The name book is made for ages 3 to 5, when many children start writing their name. The parent guide in the kit lists simple signs that a child is ready to begin.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. Every Turbo option works in the live preview of the free generator, so you can see the exact sheet first, with your child's name. The preview carries a "Turbo preview" mark and the download unlocks with Turbo.
How do I get Turbo after paying?
You get an email with your Turbo key and an activation link. Click the link and Turbo unlocks in your browser right away. The same page has your kit downloads.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes. Open the activation page on your phone, tablet or another computer and enter the same key. No account and no password needed.
What if it is not right for us?
Write to us within 30 days of buying and we will refund you in full.
Is the free generator going away?
No. The free name tracing generator, the free printables and every guide stay free. Turbo is an optional upgrade for people who want more.
Can our whole school or several teachers use it?
Yes. Write to us through the contact page and we will set up a school license for every teacher at your school.
What letter style does it use?
A vertical ball and stick print in the Zaner-Bloser® style, the letter shapes many US schools teach first, with every stroke numbered. There is also a slanted version, and the free fonts are still there. TraceTots is not affiliated with Zaner-Bloser.
Does it handle names with accents?
Yes. Names in the Latin alphabet print in full with arrows, accents included, like Zoë, Łukasz, Conceição or Nguyễn. Cyrillic names print as plain tracing without arrows. Greek, Arabic and Chinese are not supported yet.
Does it work with A4 paper?
Yes. Turbo sheets and name books print on US Letter or A4. In the kit, the alphabet pack comes in both sizes and the other packs are US Letter.
