Practicing calligraphy is a long-term habit. Don't expect that one or two years of calligraphy training can solve your child's lifelong writing problems. There is one skill in a child's life that must accompany the child throughout the learning process and will directly affect the child's performance. This skill is writing. How to teach children who have just learned to write requires more than just patience. It requires more skills. For children in lower grades, it is a qualitative leap from their original reading and writing skills. For all children who have just started to learn to write, writing is a difficult problem. How to teach children to write? We should start from the following two aspects.
1. First of all, you must memorize the stroke order.
Tall buildings rise from the ground. Without the accumulation of cement, yellow sand and other things, there would be no way to build tall buildings. Similarly, when writing, the order of strokes is like the cement and yellow sand, and Chinese characters are like the tall buildings built by children. If the child is not familiar with the order of strokes, it will be impossible for the child to start. Even if you ask your child to follow the copybook and write a word, even if it is only one word, the child has learned this word and does not know how to write other words.
When you first start practicing calligraphy, you can start with Shukong. For example, for the two characters "downhill", you can start learning Shukong from "horizontal and vertical dots" one stroke at a time, so that children can become familiar with the stroke order of this character.
Only by memorizing the stroke order of Chinese characters can it judge how to write based on the rules of writing. Teaching children to be familiar with the order of strokes is a matter of teaching people how to fish rather than teaching them how to fish.
2. Let children become familiar with the structure of Chinese characters.
If you want to write a character, you must not only be very familiar with the strokes of the character, but also accurately judge the structure of the character.
The stroke order rules of Chinese characters are: first horizontal then vertical, first stroke then stroke, from top to bottom, from left to right, first first then close, first middle then both sides, from outside to inside.
The structure of characters includes: left-right structure, top-bottom structure, top-middle-bottom structure, left-middle-right structure, inside-outside structure, semi-encircled and fully-enclosed structure, and single-type characters. Only by understanding the order of these strokes and the structural rules of Chinese characters can we judge what should be written first and what should be written after seeing the character.
If you want to write beautifully, there are a few tips you need to pay attention to:
1. Whenever you encounter a horizontal stroke, tilt it slightly upward.
2 The strokes in the same direction throughout the character are between the strokes, which is basically a parallel structure.
3 For words with a left-right structure, the left side is generally slightly smaller than the right side.
4 Generally speaking, according to the usual aesthetic point of view of the Chinese people, slender and elegant characters and square and square characters are more popular.
For children who are just learning to write, do not ask them to write too much at the beginning. The most important thing is to teach them to observe the structure of the characters first, and then use the knowledge of the stroke order of the characters they have memorized to figure out the characters themselves. In the position of the field grid, even if you only write one word at a time, writing this word in a standardized way will be more effective than writing a page.
In addition, writing is a long-term habit. Therefore, if you have the conditions to tutor your children by yourself, you do not have to send them to a training class to practice calligraphy. Once you develop the habit and learn to observe, you will naturally be able to write well.
