Instead of stripes, Tucker is covered with spots. Although he was once embarrassed about this unusual trait, he eventually learned that it is part of what makes him special. The program includes six main sections. The ABCs section leads kids through the alphabet, teaching them to write upper and lower case letters. A special window opens as each letter is selected.
Tucker introduces the letter, which is accompanied by an animal whose name starts with that letter.
The 'Learn' option shows how to correctly form the letter, and the 'Print' option generates a worksheet that drills the user on printing the letter. A Colors section introduces the primary and secondary colors, and a Shapes section introduces simple shapes including heart, diamond, rectangle, square, circle and triangle. Finally, a worksheet section lets parents, teachers or kids create customized worksheets with personalized compositions to practice printing, and a games section lets kids complete mazes and matrixes, watch video clips, or color pictures of Tucker. There is really one best way to learn a skill like handwriting, and that is through practice. This program presents letters, numbers and more in a multimedia, multi-sensory manner, and gives kids plenty of opportunity to practice what they've observed.
