What is the Alphastrokes kindergarten font?
The Alphastrokes kindergarten font is a TrueType font that assists kindergarten students in printing the letters of the English alphabet correctly and efficiently. It provides lines containing dotted letters for students to trace with the starting position and stroke directions illustrated for each letter, number, and punctuation mark. The Alphastrokes kindergarten font has been carefully developed to provide an intuitive, practical introduction to writing the English alphabet.
- Quickly and easily produce customized worksheets for students
- Easily print off vocabulary words for penmanship and writing practice
- Check out the Alphastrokes flashcards,videos, or workbookto see examples of what you can do with the font.
The only font of its kind
As a kindergarten teacher, I am constantly making worksheets for my students who are just beginning to learn to write the letters of the alphabet. At first I scoured the web for a good font that I could use to teach correct penmanship and stroke order, but I could find nothing! So I ended up making my own font. And now it is available for others who are in need of such a font.
Simple, fluid, logical, practical, standard printing technique
After researching and comparing various English alphabet penmanship techniques, I put together a font with the most logical and efficient stroke orders. Alphastrokes is designed to minimize pencil lifting between strokes and encourage continuous stroke sequences. It deters young learners from developing crude writing habits, such as forming ball-and-stick letters. With this font, stroke sequences flow together smoothly to guide early writers to compose letters correctly and efficiently. Other kindergarten printing styles tend to encourage awkward, unnatural stroke orders and sometimes include unnecessary ornamental strokes. Alphastrokes is simple, fluid, and logical; and it presents a practical universal standard for printing the English alphabet that is easy for young learners to grasp.
Alphastrokes uses logical stroke orders and continuous stroke sequences to…
- Develop letter formation aptitude (encourages phonemic awareness)
- Enhance fine motor skills
- Avert letter reversal problems (confusing b and d, p and q)
- Foster early reading and writing skills
- Prepare students for cursive writing
Starting positions
Starting positions are illustrated with a circle where the pencil should be placed when beginning each letter. Starting positions are important for developing correct letter formation skills and efficiency in writing. They also help with letter differentiation. For example, young learners often confuse the letters b and d, but knowing the correct starting positions and stroke orders helps students distinguish between these confusing letters. Furthermore, by learning the starting positions, students become more familiar with patterns in letter formationand letter structure across the alphabet. For example, the round letters a, c, d, g, o, and q all have the same starting position: on the right, just below the midline.
Stroke direction arrows
Stroke direction arrows make it easy for young writers to become familiar with correct stroke orders. The arrows also facilitate in-class penmanship activities. For example, direction arrows can serve as a visual aid for teachers to demonstrate stroke orders. One effective technique is having students put their index fingers in the air and motion the strokes of a given letter. Another excellent technique is for individual students to come forward and motion an index finger over a flashcardor visual projection to practice the correct stroke sequence.
Alphastrokes goes the extra mile

Standard direction arrows encourage correct stroke sequences but often result in unnecessary pencil-lifting. For example, note how the standard direction arrows for the letter d would result in many students inappropriately lifting their pencils between stroke 1 and stroke 2. This lack of continuity results in ball-and-stick-style letter formation, a non-fluid style of printing that is more cumbersome and results in a lower quality of penmanship. The Alphastrokes font uses extended stroke direction arrows to discourage students from unnecessarily lifting their pencils between strokes.
Fluidity
Because Alphastrokes goes the extra mile to discourage unnecessary pencil-lifting, it encourages writing fluidity, which promotes good penmanship and is helpful in preparing students for cursive writing. Most of the lowercase letters should be printed without lifting the pencil from the page between strokes. The only lowercase letters that require lifting the pencil between strokes are f, k, t, x, and y (and, of course, i and j).

The official website of Australia’s independent authority responsible for the development of a national curriculum, a national assessment program and a national data collection and reporting program that supports 21st century learning for Australian students. This is the body that will utimately make a decision about a uniform national handwriting style if there is to be one. - The Future of Handwriting (thenextweb.com)
'From the ancient scripts of Sumerian 3,000 years BC, through the dawn of the Greek alphabet and onto the ballpoint-toting, crossword-puzzling of the 20th century, handwriting has played a massive part in the development of the human race. Long before Gutenberg arrived on the scene in the fifteenth century with his fancy printing press, people were penning everything from prayers and poems to mantras and memoirs. And everything in between. Even after the proliferation of print, the humble pen continued to flourish. History owes a lot to the literates who, entirely off their own steam, chose to document the times they lived in. Without people such as Samuel Pepys, there would be huge caverns in our knowledge of major events that happened in relatively recent history. But over the past couple of decades, there has been a tangible shift away from ink and lead-based inscription, into digital representations of this thing we call language.' - ACARA – Framework for Aboriginal Languages and Torres Strait Islander Languages (December 2015)
The draft Framework is deliberately designed to cater for the 250 or more Aboriginal languages and Torres Strait Islander languages of Australia, irrespective of the ecology of each language, whether it is currently used for everyday communication, or being revitalised, or one of the many creo le languages that have arisen through language contact in Australia. The draft Framework provides both important guidance and necessary flexibility for the develop ment of language-specific programs for any Aboriginal language or Torres Strait Islander language. - Does Handwriting Have a Future? (ABC Radio National - Future Tense)
Handwriting, according to some, is an anachronism. Finland has now dropped it from its national curriculum. And so many American states have also removed it as an educational requirement that it now only makes news when state officials opt to keep it. According to the detractors, writing by hand no longer has a place in an age where people type and thumb their way using smart phones and computers. But others, including many psychologists, believe cursive writing still has an important role to play in cognitive development, particularly when it comes to memory. In this episode, we hear the case for and against the retention of handwriting. And we also speak with Clive Thompson, a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, who’s look beyond text and type to the next stage of communication. He calls it ‘voice writing’.
