Tutorial: User Created Shapes: Teach Printed Words / Vocab


PointScribe's User Created Palette is a powerful tool for teaching printed words.

To create a printed shape (letter, word, or name):

  • (A) Select the blue User Created button in the Build Custom Content area located on the left side of the Lesson Editor Screen. The User Created Palette will appear.

  • (B) From the menu across the top of the palette screen, select desired line thickness, guidelines, and whether or not you want a centerline between the guidelines.

  • (C) Print the word or name of your choice.

  • (D) At the bottom of the page, select Save (or Reset to begin again).

  • (E) (F)Type in the name of the newly created word, then click the OK button.

  • (G) Exit.

To use the printed shape you've created in a lesson:
There are two ways to use the shapes you create in a lesson: by themselves, or as part of a Sequence.

Using a printed shape by itself:

  • (G) Select User Created from the Shape Library drop down menu in the Lesson Content area located on the left side of the Lesson Editor screen.

  • (H) Select the name of the word you created from the Shape Type drop down menu located beneath the Shape Library drop down menu.

  • (I) Select the Start Lesson Pencil on lower left to launch the lesson.

Using a printed shape as part of a Sequence:

When a student is presented with your User Created shapes, all of the same properties that apply to shapes from PointScribe's built-in libraries apply: start and stop points, crumb trails, centerlines, immediate feedback, Tutor Options and more. All customizable settings (colors, sound, audible cues, etc.) available for built-in content are also available for use with User Created Shapes.
