Print the alphabet
Three sheets. Looking for the words? First words .
The same twenty-six letters three times over, in the order the app fades them. Print all three and a reader can walk the ladder on paper, or print the last one on its own once the pictures have done their work.

Stop while they still want more.
If you'd rather see how the fading works, check out the how it works page — the alphabet sheet prints at all three steps, so the fade is on paper too.
Print freely, at home or in a classroom — see the terms . If a sheet prints badly on your setup, tell us .
