Do you need to take calligraphy classes or practice copybooks at home if you want to practice calligraphy well in grades one and two of primary school?

It is very important for the students in grade one and grade two to practice Chinese characters well, because it is a critical period for them to lay a good writing foundation. Here are some ways to practice Chinese characters. Both self-study and class registration require persistent practice to achieve good results.

1. Learn basic strokes and structures: It is very important to learn basic strokes and Chinese character structures. If children are familiar with the structure of fonts and master the basic strokes of fonts, they can practice writing at home. You can practice by tracing red or copying, starting with simple words.

2. Observation and imitation: Children can learn by observing other people's writing or imitating the teacher's demonstration. This can help them better master the structure and strokes of fonts.

3. Sign up for a calligraphy class: If your child has no foundation or poor self-discipline, then signing up for a class may be a better choice. Professional calligraphy trainers can give targeted guidance to children, including guidance on brushwork and font. At the same time, it can give real-time feedback to children's exercises to help them improve their calligraphy level faster. In addition, applying for classes can also provide a good learning atmosphere, which is conducive to cultivating children's interest and persistence.

4. Keep practicing: Whether you are self-taught or enrolled in classes, you need to keep practicing to achieve good results. You can make an exercise plan and set aside some time to practice every day.

5. Pay attention to the choice of posture and tools: It is also important to choose the appropriate writing posture and tools. Children should keep the correct pen holding posture, and the distance between eyes and paper should be moderate to avoid being too close or too far away. In addition, choose a pen and paper suitable for children to practice.

Generally speaking, the first and second grades of primary school are the key period to practice Chinese characters well. Whether you choose to study by yourself or enroll in classes, you need to keep practicing and pay attention to the choice of posture and tools. If the child has a certain foundation in calligraphy and the time is properly arranged, then self-study is ok. If the child is zero-based or has poor self-discipline, then reporting to class may be a better choice.
