What's available in NZ Basic Script
Uppercase and lowercase A–Z, the vowels with tohutō (macrons), numerals, punctuation, and maths and money symbols, as solid letters, dotted letters to trace or hollow letters to colour in, with optional arrows and stroke numbers showing how each letter is formed. The letters slope a little, as they do in New Zealand classrooms, and end cleanly with no flicks. A macron is written last, from left to right.
