      chinese words with the strokes in wrong sequence will result in distortion of the written word form, it is awkward for the hand to write in the wrong sequence, and looks ugly


      if you know calligraphy, wrong strokes kill the word

      for math, starting at P4, the emphasis that is often not mentioned enough is : speed and accuracy; and similar to the written chinese words, wrong sequence to math problem solvings will end up with wrong answers

      Ok for Point 1, I reckon you didn't read properly. What if the turnout result of the word still looks presentable and clear (beautiful in your case) and still could identify as the actual word?

      Point 2, I'm only concern if other parents face the same problems with their child, that is focusing too long on a problem sum and thus, a concern during examinations of being not able to complete in time.

      i got your point about point one. the end result looks the same, clear and presentable, and probably taken some time to make it look the same. from an educator point of view, it is wrong to write it in the wrong sequence. but who cares ??!! no marks deducted for wrong sequence in the strokes.....but wrong sequence for math will be serious trouble .....

      you were referring to taking too long time to solve it - may be due to wrong sequence ? that is why taking more steps to go around solving it ??

        for the kids’ exam, it is the same as for the adults : once the time allocated for the sum is over, move on

          Point 2’s not about sequence and no sequence or any dyslexic problem. Thank you.

            I am still working on my son’s strokes. Right now, if the character still looks

            presentable and clear consistently, I will just close one eye. I will still try to explain to him hoping he can change.

            For myself, I still write heng from right to left instead from left to right for the past 30 over years. I find it is easier for me as I am a left-hander. Don’t think it makes any difference, at least to me.

              Yeah, that's what I thought so too. Of course we as parents would still try to teach them the correct manner of writing (though the turnout looks perfect!) haha :lol:

              I think ultimately if the sequences are not too much in the wrong order, it should be fine. It's like writing the number 8. Some people write it the usual one stroke curvy manner and some write with a circle on top and then followed by a bigger one bottom or vice-versa! And some parents, just complained about being imperfect. Chill! 😛
