Different lah tankee...chinese strokes are impt...so you did the \"right\" thing to ensure your DS gets the strokes right.

the thing is, i also realised that most of my written chinese words would have \"failed\" too. So it was quite a challenge to teach my DS as I need to find out what is the exact stroke and position of the stroke.

Starrenee:

Is the calligraphy book idiot proof for parents who dun know chinese?

.....

yes. just that you may not be able to explain to your child what the word means or teach your child how to read it.

So I went to popular and bought him a Chinese calligraphy book and started revising the strokes with him.

Tankee, I thought Tao Nan has Chinese calligraphy as one of the CCAs or enrichment program offered to P1s? My friend's daughter is in Chinese calligraphy.

it is also taught in Arts lessons for P1

...but 1st spelling come back get 7 out of 10 start panicing .....

This actually happened to me. :oops:

DS was getting full marks for his 听写 until recently when there was a change in the Chinese teacher. The new teacher is very strict with accuracy of the strokes or penmanship. And DS starts to get lots of corrections because of his poor handwriting.

I panicked, worried about his confidence and his year end exam.

So I went to popular and bought him a Chinese calligraphy book and started revising the strokes with him.

:oops:

a few years back they actually have those XiZI books that the school use and they show the sequence of the strokes, and also have guiding lines to practise handwriting. It is good to start training handwriting that early, because it will be a severe handicap at the PSLE and will cause you to lose marks. (Let's face it, handwriting does matter)
