Children in Grade One have just developed their arms, wrists and fingers, which is the best time to start practicing calligraphy, but the strength to hold and lift a pen is actually insufficient.

Therefore, parents must master the skills of practicing calligraphy, so as to give scientific guidance to their children's calligraphy practice.

Key point 1: scientifically control the length of writing practice.

The length of time that children's thoughts can be effectively concentrated is about 5- 15 minutes. Therefore, the study time should not be too long, and 10 minutes is appropriate. Video courses in early spring schools are generally set to 2-3 minutes. Teacher Qian Peiyun will explain in detail the specific writing characteristics and precautions of the list.

Parents should first let their children watch the teaching video carefully, understand the writing characteristics of the new words explained by the teacher, and tell them how to write silently in their hearts, so as to achieve psychology. This process takes about 3-5 minutes.

Then let the children slowly write what they think in the notebook or printed copybook template. Words can't be too many, the key is to be accurate. This process takes about 5- 10 minutes.

Point 2: Observe children's writing habits.

Many children's writing habits are wrong. If parents don't pay attention to this, it will be difficult to correct it when their children are older. Your child is just 6 years old, and it is time to lay the foundation.

Generally speaking, writing habits include: the habit of holding a pen and sitting posture.

First, let's look at the correct pen holding posture:

As shown in the above picture, be sure to hold the pen straight so that you can write evenly and freely. There are many wrong pen holding postures, which have been summarized by netizens on Zhihu, so I won't go into details here.

It is the correct sitting posture after mastering the pen holding posture.

Generally speaking, there are five key points: straight head, straight body, open arms, chest, and safe feet.

Give calligraphy lessons to questioners here, and you can sing with your children when you are free.

Song of practicing calligraphy

Good writing, speaking posture.

Keep your head straight and your arms open.

Keep your feet flat and your body straight.

Palm empty, five fingers solid.

Remember, three ones.

One punch in the chest, one inch.

Eyes and table, a foot away.

Keep your head still and straighten your pen.

Success in writing depends on persistence.

Focus 3: Basic method preparation of writing

When it comes to the methodology of writing, many people may still be unfamiliar. Is there any specific theoretical method for writing? Isn't practicing calligraphy just copying?

This view is very wrong. Good practice must be guided by correct theory. Only by combining theory with practice can we achieve the unity of knowing and doing. The same is true of writing. Many friends practiced a lot of copybooks, but their calligraphy didn't improve, not because they didn't work hard, but because they didn't master the theory behind writing.

With regard to the writing theory, we recommend five combinations of Chinese characters proposed by Mr. Qian Peiyun, one of the three masters of hard writing in China. Through decades of research and teaching practice on Chinese character writing methods, Mr. Qian summarized calligraphers' writing techniques into five points, namely, broken silk method, one-legged prancing method, round echo method, pushing and pressing spring method and looking forward to life method. These five writing methods can be applied to all Chinese characters. If children can learn these five writing skills at the beginning of learning calligraphy, they can more easily feel the smart beauty of China Chinese characters, which is of great help to the whole process of practicing calligraphy in the future.

The fourth point: What if children always write crooked words?

There are many reasons for children's crooked writing, so parents and friends must analyze the specific problems.

We summarized the following reasons:

Incorrect attitude;

The sitting posture of holding the pen is incorrect;

The strength of wrists and fingers is not enough;

The first reason is that this is often not a problem of children, but a problem of parents. Parents and friends must give their children correct guidance, which includes: positive encouragement; Appreciation and guidance of the beauty of calligraphy;

For the second reason, parents and friends need to refer to the second question above to correct it.

The third reason is emphasized here. If parents and friends find that their children are not writing hard enough, they should train their fingers and wrists.

There are many specific training methods, such as stretching rubber bands, bouncing fingers in the air, hitting the ball on the wall, etc.

For more questions about children's writing, parents are welcome to communicate with me.

A lot of information comes from our teaching practice. Interested parents can check at official website in early spring school:

In early spring, the school takes inclusive quality education as its vision, mission and values. We believe that a good education must be inexpensive. I hope we can pass on our teaching ideas to everyone.
