The TraceAbles Literacy Foundation

The TraceAbles Literacy System is a complete early literacy program offered exclusively through the TraceAbles Literacy Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children become successful readers before reading difficulties take hold. All proceeds support the Foundation’s mission, including providing the program free of charge to children and educational programs that otherwise could not afford it.

Why The TraceAbles Literacy System is so Effective

1. Prevent future learning problems

When children learn to form letters correctly from a young age, it develops strong neural connections in the brain and enhances their ability to read and spell. This prevents future learning problems, boosts their self-esteem, and saves time and money on costly interventions like tutoring.

Instructional Video


Our short, easy-to-follow video lessons guide children step by step. The TraceAbles Handwriting and Spelling Guides create a truly unique learning experience: each individual grooved letter guides the child’s marker to teach correct letter formation, then becomes a movable letter they can use to build and spell words. Simple to use yet highly effective, TraceAbles brings reading, writing, and spelling together in one engaging, hands-on lesson.

Why the TraceAbles Handwriting and Spelling Board is so Unique

  1. Magnetic/dry-erase alphabet board
  2. Instructional handwriting guides to teach proper letter formation
  3. Magnetic letters that adhere firmly to any magnetic surface, providing hours of writing, spelling, and reading fun.

About Us

The TraceAbles Literacy System was created by reading specialist Sonya Nelson, who has spent more than 25 years helping children overcome reading and learning challenges.

Through her work, Sonya recognized that teaching children to spell and write words as they learn to read could build a stronger foundation and help prevent reading difficulties before they take hold. This insight inspired her to develop the TraceAbles magnetic handwriting board and a complete multisensory literacy program that brings reading, writing, and spelling together from the very beginning.

Believing that every child deserves the opportunity to become a successful reader—regardless of a family’s ability to pay—Sonya established the TraceAbles Literacy Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to make this unique and effective program available to children, families, schools, and educational organizations throughout the country.

Our Commitment

We believe that anyone can learn to read and excel at it, and that prevention is key. Providing your child with a strong foundation in writing and spelling at a young age is one of the most important things you can do to ensure they develop strong literacy skills as they grow.
