INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the VTech®ABC Phonics Pals™!

Introduce your children to some new friends! The ABC Phonics

Pals have fun with writing, and they want your kids to join them as

they play with their favorite toys – the letters of the alphabet. In the

process, your children will learn alphabetical order, phonics, and

letter stroke order, step by step. Then they can test their knowledge

by playing fun writing games, or relax and trace their way through

some simple mazes. As your children play with their Phonics Pals,

they’ll do more than make a few new friends; they’ll begin a lifelong

relationship with writing.

IMPORTANT NOTE

these important instructions:

WRITING RECOGNITION FEATURE

The writing pad is specially designed to

teach children to write using VTech’s Writing

Recognition Technology. This special space

teaches you to write the entire alphabet.

Please focus your writing directly in this

space!

For proper recognition, try to refrain from placing extra pressure on

the writing pad while writing.

FOR BEST RESULTS, WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF THE NON-

ELECTRONIC WRITING STYLUS PROVIDED WITH THIS PRODUCT

it will affect the writing recognition.

ACTIVITIES:

1. Smart Writer

This activity teaches you how to write uppercase letters step by step.

Letter Stroke Order lessons in this activity are based on the

Zaner-Bloser method.

Failure to follow the stroke order presented in the instructions

will count as a wrong answer.

Press the “Smart Writer” button to

choose this activity.

Choose a letter by pressing a letter

button. If you don’t make your selection

within a few seconds, the unit will

automatically choose a letter for you.

On the screen, you will see the letter strokes taught step by step.

Watch the screen carefully as it shows you the proper steps in

forming a letter. Practice writing that

letter on the writing pad. If you have

written the letter correctly, you will

hear a positive response followed by a

more. If you do not write a letter correctly after three tries, you

will be asked to try a different letter.

As you practice your writing, you can press the Repeat button

to view the instructions on how to write the letter again. Or, if

you make a mistake, you can press the “ ” mark to erase your

writing from the screen and start over again. When you’re ﬁnished

writing, press the “ ” mark on the writing pad to register your

answer.

You can practice writing on your own without any instructions. To

questions in this activity.

Press the “Writing Review” button to

pad to answer within the time limit. After

ﬁve questions, you will receive a score.

chances to complete the maze before it moves on to another
