Features: How is the layout of this set of "Happy to Learn Writing" different from traditional writing practice books?
It provides appropriate exercises based on the different age characteristics of children:
Stage (Suitable for 2.5 to 4 years old or small class): Due to underdeveloped fine motor skills, early writing practice is not beneficial. It is more suitable to engage in large motor exercises such as dots, lines, and circles—basic writing exercises. Therefore, this stage mainly includes pen control exercises and picture-word recognition to train hand-eye coordination and strengthen the strength of the arms and small muscles in the hands.
Second Stage (Suitable for 4 to 5 years old or middle class): Learn the basic strokes of Chinese characters, master their stroke order and structure. Start with drawing, which children are interested in, and gradually guide them into learning.
Third Stage (Suitable for 5 to 7 years old or large class): This stage includes 88 commonly used radicals, arranged in a progressive manner. After completing the four training books, children will have basically mastered these 88 radicals and grasped the structural rules of Chinese characters, laying a foundation for quickly learning a large number of characters and for them to learn how to use a dictionary in the future.
When you ask children to trace Chinese characters, do they show reluctance? Most tracing books only offer mechanical copying exercises. Children get bored after writing just one page and give up. However, this set of "Happy to Learn Writing" captures children's interests. It allows them to unconsciously train writing skills through the process of drawing. By helping children understand the evolution of Chinese characters, it deepens their comprehension and encourages them to recognize similar characters, thereby increasing their interest in Chinese characters.
It also includes fun Chinese character games.
When you are teaching your child, do you feel helpless? This book is scientifically designed based on children's psychological and physiological characteristics, progressing from simple to complex and in a step-by-step manner. It not only solves the problem of how to write Chinese characters but also helps you know where to start teaching.
When guiding children to learn writing, what should you do? Prepare a desk and chair that are the right height to create a good learning atmosphere. Let children develop the correct pencil-holding method and writing posture from the beginning. Start by practicing writing large characters and use pens with thicker strokes. Do not be too demanding—just encourage them often as long as they show interest in practicing.
Book Usage Instructions: Let children choose lines with thicker strokes. This makes it easier for them to control the lines and improves hand-eye coordination. Draw along the arrows, trying to complete the line in one go. If the line feels too long, they can pause at the turn and then continue. After multiple recognition sessions, with the picture and character paired together, children will recognize all the characters as if they recognize people's faces.
The first characters children recognize may not be the simplest ones, but rather the ones they are most interested in.
