 Hello,

 When teaching a child about the correct writing of the alphabet, the
 single-story letter a should be used instead of the double-story a. Please
 see the fourth image of the wikipedia article
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A as a reference. It´s really important to
 teach kids the correct type of character due to their limited fine motor
 skills while young. They should first learn to draw a simple circle and |
 to create an "a" since it´s easier for their calligraphy learning. I
 noticed that the images used on the memorize activity use the incorrect
 style of character and teaching.

 This has come to our attention because special ed teachers suggested that
 it would be appropriate to have the correct letters since children start
 learning by imitating.

 Is it possible to correct the font used in this images so that the correct
 letter may be used by the kids?

 Also, if this ticket is not the correct way to address this problem please
 letme know as well.
