Write it

Using it

The practice grid Chinese children learn in, on screen. Write with a finger, a stylus or a mouse; the target sits in the same square at the same size, so what you wrote and what it should look like are directly comparable. It does not mark you: nothing can honestly measure handwriting from a few strokes, so it shows the two and lets you judge.

The grid

A 田字格 — the four quadrants Chinese children learn proportion against.

Write in it

Guide

Trace the character, see it faintly behind you, or write it from memory.

Clear

Wipes your attempt and keeps the model, so the next go starts clean.
