overview of 100 characters

Introduction:

These practice writing sheets were adapted from the popular <<二三快读>> series targeted at young children as young as 2-3 years old. Features 100 most commonly encountered Chinese Characters. These 100 characters were carefully selected to be used as the underlying foundation in Chinese Studies. 

There's no doubt that writing is very much linked to how a child learns. Through writing, a child can retain information much better, especially a difficult language like Chinese.

This introductory set was specially catered for young preschoolers to learn more about Chinese and these themes and words are selected because they can relate to them more easily.

Most handwriting templates in the market are printed on paper and once the child writes on them, it can no longer be re-used, unless you erase them - word for word. The font size is also larger so it makes it easier for budding writers. Cute pictures are also a bonus!

This is why I designed this laminated set so that the child can practice writing on them over and over again and it can be easily wipe-and-reused. 

How Handwriting Trains the Brain

"Using advanced tools such as magnetic resonance imaging, researchers are finding that writing by hand is more than just a way to communicate. The practice helps with learning letters and shapes, can improve idea composition and expression, and may aid fine motor-skill development.

It's not just children who benefit. Adults studying new symbols, such as Chinese characters, might enhance recognition by writing the characters by hand, researchers say. Some physicians say handwriting could be a good cognitive exercise for baby boomers working to keep their minds sharp as they age."

overview of the 2 charts

Introduction:

Learning Chinese may appear daunting for those who have never been exposed to this language. This is why understanding key basic strokes is crucial in the learning of the language. This chart will help your child to understand that every Chinese Character, no matter how complicated it looks, is actually just made up of individual basic strokes, aka, 笔画。Mastering 笔画 helps your child to 'break down' each Chinese Character into the simplest form. 

Research have found that writing enhances recognition and also activates both sides of the brain for better quality learning.
