that the inserted stencil is for the letter u201c s u201d and provides the child with phonics information about the letter u201c s u201d when the child places the u201c s u201d stencil 4 on the drawing panel 2 the controller 8 may further encourage the child to trace the upper case u201c s u201d the lower case u201c s u201d and the sun figure on the stencil 4 in response to the child tracing the upper case u201c s u201d with the stylus 3 the controller 8 may detect that the stylus is positioned proximate conductive pad 6 a which is aligned with designated area 12 of the u201c s u201d stencil 4 based on information in the memory 8 b the processor 8 a may obtain and generate an appropriate response for the detected tracing area 12 of the u201c s u201d stencil 4 for example the controller 8 may generate signals that cause the speaker 20 to generate audio signals that tell the child that he is writing an upper case u201c s u201d similarly in response to the child tracing the lower case u201c s u201d with the stylus 3 the controller 8 may detect that the stylus is positioned proximate conductive pad 6 b which is aligned with designated area 13 of the u201c s u201d stencil 4 based on information in the memory 8 b the controller 8 may obtain and generate an appropriate response for the detected designated area 13 of.
