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
To get the best results from your ABC Phonics Pals™ please follow
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
TO PLAY THE ACTIVITIES.
NON-ELECTRONIC SLIDING BAR
While writing or drawing on the writing pad,
the sliding bar needs to be positioned at
either end of the writing pad; otherwise,
it will affect the writing recognition.
