How to teach a child who can’t write?

There are many messages in the background asking me how I teach children to write. I am a person who can\’t help but praise and ask too many questions, so I still want to chat. In fact, I subscribe to teaching magazines every year and read them often. I am often surprised that teachers are so good at summarizing \”one, two, three, four\”, but after reading it, I always feel that I have learned nothing. Therefore, I am not sure whether readers can learn how to use text to chat like this. Just for sharing and reference. Thinking back to when I was teaching children to write in first grade, I think there are only two tips. The first is observation, and the second is strictness. Let me first talk about my own preparation before teaching writing. How to correct ugly handwriting? A complete set of videos on how to practice calligraphy by He Xiaoxiang will help you. First of all, I personally think that teaching children to write good calligraphy is a very, very important thing. It is related to the quality of children\’s daily homework, and to their lifelong writing habits. More broadly speaking, the words are like the person they are, and it is also related to the children\’s tempering of character, cultivation of character, and even the inheritance of Chinese culture. Therefore, as a teacher, you must pay special attention to this matter. Secondly, you need to have some basic skills in writing by yourself. My handwriting is average and I have never learned calligraphy. When I was a child, I never imagined that I would become a Chinese teacher. Therefore, in terms of calligraphy, I am actually lacking. Last summer, I had a premonition that I would teach first grade. I felt that it would be difficult for my handwriting to be \”reborn\” or \”resurrected\”, but my children\’s \”prospects are unlimited.\” They are young and imitative. If they receive good writing teaching methods from the beginning, they have great plasticity. So, I signed up for a calligraphy class at my own expense. Calligraphy teacher Yang started to teach me from holding the pen, controlling the pen, weight, ups and downs. He taught me everything in detail, and taught me patiently, just like a first-grade primary school student. Finally, he taught me to observe the structure and study the beauty of fonts. What I learned from Teacher Yang is more of this truth – writing is a delicate and slow work. In this way, after studying for two months, I welcomed my first-grade class in September. I also teach children from the beginning of holding a pen and check the children\’s pen holding posture every day. I also teach pen control and let them practice drawing circles and straight lines. Later, I started to teach basic strokes, one stroke, one stroke, one stroke, one stroke at a time, slowly. My teaching progress at the beginning was much slower than others because I spent all my time on non-teaching tasks (language books). Because I have practiced calligraphy for two months, I have the most basic awareness of the steps of writing. This has been of great benefit to me. The second preparation I made myself was to read the teaching materials carefully. Some experts once criticized front-line teachers, saying that many front-line teachers only read textbooks and teaching materials and do not read other books. This is of course a criticism of some teachers for not having the awareness to read, especially the awareness of reading leisurely books. But the expert does not mean not to read the teaching materials. Especially for young teachers, teaching reference materials must not only be read, but also read carefully. Each lesson taught by the teacher has a very detailed explanation of the new words after the lesson, and will tell us what to pay attention to for each word. Every time before I teach my children to write, I read it carefully. I read it aloud and write carefully next to it. ​I carefully wrote the grid after the Chinese language course. In class, I used what I read in the teaching guide and the difficulties I encountered when writing to guide andRemind, penetrate, and teach children that before writing, children must repeatedly practice their ability to observe words. Many classes by famous teachers only use a simple methodology of \”first look at the structure, second look at the height and third look at the key strokes\” for the writing part. I personally feel that it is not suitable for first grade children. Observation in first grade should be meticulous enough to observe every stroke. After the second grade, I gradually let go and observed the overall character and key strokes. Perhaps, each class has different learning conditions and different methods. For many children in our class who have no basic knowledge, the method that suits them can only be observed stroke by stroke. Of course, the work to be done after writing is to show it well and set an example for the students. The most important thing is that you have to have a pair of \”sharp eyes\” and tell the children what they wrote well and what they need to improve. In fact, I only have one standard for their good writing – it is exactly the same as the word next to it in the book. Therefore, after tracing and imitating, there is another step, which is \”contrast\”. Compare the characters next to them. Are the length, height, size, and position of each stroke exactly the same? Okay, next, the teacher needs to check. Children\’s comparisons are more or less in error. It is impossible for first-grade children to instantly \”compare\” the difference between \”Fan\” and \”Fan\”. Only some smart children can understand it. Then, after class, the children need to line up and come to me one by one to correct their books. Yes, I want to correct Chinese documents. Chinese language books are the best example. For each word, tell the child how the word he writes is different from the model word. Mark it with a red pen while explaining it, so that he can understand. Next, practice again and pass each test. Finally, make sure you have time to practice calligraphy every day, and use a good copybook to practice writing. Swimming is learned by swimming, and writing is also learned by writing. It requires methods and practice. The last step, of course, is praise. Praise constantly, even if one stroke is correct, praise it. In addition, praise should also be given to those whose writing is clean and there are no graffiti, those whose covers are clean and those who know how to cherish them, and those whose pages are not dog-eared should be specifically praised. I don\’t like dog-eared and dirty homework, and the kids do the same. Over time, the homework you receive will not only be clean and refreshing, but the writing will also be very beautiful and neat. In this way, you can experience the joy of teaching. Although, this requires a lot of time and effort on your part.
