First of all, master the correct writing and pen holding posture.
"Children can practice calligraphy from the first grade of primary school, but they must master the correct writing method. If there is no correct method, it is better not to practice. " Huang Xiaoxi, a Chinese teacher at Henan Branch affiliated to Peking University and a member of Henan Calligraphy Association, said.
Wang Fang, president of Zhengzhou General School, also said: "There is no age limit for practicing calligraphy. You can start practicing when your child learns to write, but the focus of each stage is different. Students in the first to third grades of primary school can practice from the basics. "
Beginners must master the standard pen holding posture before starting to practice calligraphy. When writing, your head should be straight, your shoulders should be flat, and your waist should be straight, so as to achieve "three ones": your chest should be hit from the desk, your elbow should be seen from the book, and your hand should be pointed from the nib.
The correct way to hold the pen is the three-finger pen holding method. The pen container is placed between the thumb, middle finger and forefinger, with the forefinger in front and the thumb behind. The index finger is 3cm away from the tip of the pen, and the pen holder is inclined at 60 degrees with the front face, so as to achieve "the finger is solid and the palm is empty, like a hollow fist". Only in this way can you write flexibly.
Second, it is best to choose copybooks with strokes and radicals.
"The font that children practice is called standard character, which is close to Song Jie, not calligraphy." Huang Xiaoxi said that there are many standard copybooks, which can be selected according to the child's situation.
In his view, there were four key words in practicing calligraphy at first, namely, Mi Zige, understanding calligraphy, slow speed and writing in place.
"The first and second grades are mostly basic strokes, and the third and fourth grades are the frame structure of words, such as left and right structure and up and down structure." Zhang Meilan, a teacher at Funiu Road No.4 Primary School in Zhongyuan District, said that primary schools should practice calligraphy, basic strokes and radical structure, and it is best to choose a copybook that introduces basic strokes and radical structure.
She suggested that it is best to practice calligraphy for about 20 minutes every day, so the effect will be better.
The best way for pupils to practice calligraphy.
First of all, before teaching children to write, we can teach them to "recognize" words. This process is to clearly understand the occupation of Chinese strokes in Tian Zige, and then clearly understand the strokes and the changes of strokes, and of course, clearly understand the length of each stroke.
At the same time, the first stroke of each word determines the position of the word in Tian Zige, and each word also has a "main stroke". If this stroke is well written, the whole word will be more standardized and beautiful.
Secondly, we should practice the most basic strokes, and each word is composed of strokes, so the basis of practicing Chinese characters must be to master the writing method of each stroke in order to master it faster and better in the subsequent study of new words. To write basic strokes well, we must be "horizontal, vertical, point, sharp and clumsy".
After practicing the basic strokes, you need to further practice the radical writing. As we all know, Chinese characters can be divided into two types: monomer and combination. Before learning new words, practicing radicals in Tian Zige will make the next new word practice more effective.
In addition, in the early stage of practice, we must strictly use Tian Zi case to write, and then gradually transition to squares or even horizontal lines, or even white paper. Many students began to write in a standardized way in Tian Zige, but when they reached the square and horizontal lines, they began to become crooked. They needed to go back to Tian Zige to continue practicing until they were standardized, formed muscle memory, and then transitioned to the square.
Finally, I want to say that practicing calligraphy is not a one-sided thing for children. Parents also need to set an example and give appropriate rewards in this process. Of course, it is best to participate in children's classes and exercises, so that children are less likely to have resistance.
Of course, many people may ask "What copybook is good for primary school students to practice calligraphy" or "Is it necessary for primary school students to participate in calligraphy training?" They think that if parents have a certain calligraphy foundation, they can really teach their children to write with copybooks, otherwise it is recommended to participate in training. In addition, compared with offline training, individuals are advised to participate in online training. On the one hand, the time is controllable, and parents can participate in their children's writing courses all the time. The class time is generally about 5 minutes. Children's burden is relatively small, and naturally there will be no great resistance.
