What is StudyX Smartpaper Letters?
StudyX Smartpaper Letters is a digital version of Montessori's classic sandpaper letters, built for iPad and Apple Pencil. Where the original wooden boards could hold only about 26 letters of the alphabet, this app covers more than 10,000 characters: Japanese hiragana, katakana, and kanji (including joyo and name kanji), Chinese hanzi in Simplified and Traditional forms, Korean Hanja, the English alphabet in print and cursive, and numerals.
Every character comes with stroke-by-stroke animated guidance and real-time scoring against the model character, so learners can practice independently without a parent or teacher standing by. From a preschooler's first letters to elementary kanji drills to adult penmanship practice, one app covers all of it.
