1, seems there's a bug. Once out of game and just going through letters and drawing them and then hitting the right arrow, you'll get thrown back into the game again for no apparent reason. 2, there really should be some sorta rating system on the tracing of letters (like 1-100). This way it stops the children from getting sloppy when using app. The point is to help the children learn how to write these letters, but it really doesn't say if u are doing it right or not. Children need some sorta reward system.

[1] Actually, this is intended (assuming I’ve correctly understood what you mean). The ides is that after kids have practised saying and writing a group of sounds, they move into the word game to continue practising this group of sounds. But, this time how they blend together to make words. You can also access the game via the button on the front screen. I will be looking to improve this area over time.
[2] In the next major release of the app, when children trace the letters there will be feedback on how well they’ve done. I think this really is the next big thing to improve.
