The lessons begin with large, easy to complete shape sizes. Each time the student writes a shape, Tutor gathers and analyzes handwriting data.

When the student’s handwriting proficiency meets the success goals set, PointScribe uses that data to automatically advance her on to the next challenge level (smaller shape size).

PointScribe lessons include visual cues that are fun, engaging, and instructive---gently and consistently guiding students through the formation of letters, numbers, and pre-writing shapes.

PointScribe reinforces newfound skills by systematically removing the start and stop point visual cues and the stroke sequence visual cues, ultimately leading the student to write every letter, number, and shape properly and consistently from memory.

Visual Cue Advancement happens automatically and is based on data driven factors and other teaching options set by you.

PointScribe's powerful database generates six easy to interpret Handwriting Proficiency Reports that can be created in seconds. The reports provide a wealth of valuable handwriting information for accurate analysis, assessments, and intervention.

Reports for students or classrooms, print and email easily for sharing.

On-screen scoring graphics inform and motivate students in a familiar video gaming format to keep students engaged and asking for more “PointScribe time!”

Students stay motivated with on-screen scoring graphics that provide them with real-time information and visual and audible rewards as they move up to higher and higher levels in “the game.”

Scoring shows current challenge level (stars) and progress toward advancement (bars).

User Created Palette: The sky’s the limit! Create and save your own letters, words, characters, foreign alphabets, mazes or graphics. It’s quick, easy and your power tool for creating dynamic custom content.

CURSIVE: The User Created Palette is also where you can build your own cursive letters and words.

Sequences allow you to combine shapes from each of PointScribe's libraries---including User Created---to build custom lessons and design targeted interventions based on captured data. When running a sequence-based lesson, shapes will appear one at a time in the order you select.

Sequences used for targeted intervention enable the educator to deliver customized content tailored to the learning challenge at hand, for example, a student's name and phone number.

PointScribe's built-in sequence library of eleven diagnostic shapes allows you to assess students and identify area of strength and weakness within minutes. Also included, our ABC123 Sequence for mastery of all letters and numbers.

The Mastery Tracking & Status feature serves a dual purpose in PointScribe.

For students, Mastery Status provides a visual display of which shapes they have succeeded in completely mastering in each shape library, and their overall progress toward mastering all shapes. Printable certificates are also available.

Behind the scenes, it focuses on the learning experience. When Mastery Status is enabled, it automatically removes shapes that have been mastered from any lesson content presented. The student is only presented with shapes not yet completely mastered.

Teaching handwriting to the entire classroom has never been more “automated” and easy! Classroom mode monitors and manages the amount of PointScribe time for each student.

When the student has completed his PointScribe lesson, the program returns to the Classroom page and will not restart---for that student. The next student is now ready to begin her handwriting lesson with PointScribe.

With a few clicks, you can launch a lesson for an entire classroom! PointScribe is like having another teacher in the classroom, specializing in handwriting, and freeing up time for the teacher to continue working with the other students.

The Student Preferences Manager allows you and your student to quickly and easily design and save a customized learning environment that best matches the student's interests.

Save each student's favorite colors, themes, music, sounds, etc. so that personalized lesson content is presented each time the student uses PointScribe, maximizing their engagement.
