My son is six and a half years old now. He has been sent to a calligraphy training class since last summer. He is going to practice his handwriting before going to primary school, so that he will not have such a headache when doing his homework in the future.
I have accumulated some experience in practicing calligraphy in the past six months, and I have also practiced Songti in junior high school. I want to share some skills with you. Please give me more advice.
Tip 1: Practice pen control.
Preschool children's muscle fine motor ability is in the development stage, and generally approaches or reaches the adult level after 7 years old. Therefore, before practicing calligraphy, it is necessary to practice pen control to improve children's ability to control and use pencils.
There are many exercise manuals for controlling and handling pens in the bookstore, with different types and difficulties.
For children, there are special training books for children to control pens. Most of the exercises are pictures, which are big and interesting, mainly to train wrist stability, hands-on ability and hand-eye coordination ability.
After mastering the practice of pen control, the difficulty is gradually increased, and basic pen training such as straight line, zigzag and spiral line is carried out.
Preschool children learn to write first, and then learn hard pen calligraphy, which is the correct order.
If your child is already in primary school or junior high school, you can skip this stage of pen control practice.
Tip 2: Step by step
For beginners of hard-pen calligraphy, they usually practice regular script. Learn strokes, points, etc. First, then learn radicals and practice with simple words. Finally, gradually increase the difficulty and practice writing difficult words.
At the beginning of practice, the strokes and words written by children are exaggerated and even ugly, but it doesn't matter. Everyone's calligraphy practice is such a process. The most important thing is to practice in the way the teacher teaches. Over time, it will be smoother and more beautiful.
Tip 3: Parents argue.
When my son came home from class to do his homework, I found that his writing was not completely in accordance with the teacher's instructions, mainly because his knowledge in class was limited and his time was short. When he got home, he might have forgotten part of it, so he needed parents' help to correct his mistakes and review and strengthen his knowledge points.
During the break, I observed my son's classmates' homework and found that there was another problem, that is, the children forgot the front after learning and didn't practice with what the teacher had taught before. For example, the strokes learned in this class are vertical, and the teacher asks him to practice the word "ten", so when he writes horizontally, he may not write according to what the teacher taught him before, and the quality of practice will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, I think parents need sparring. The knowledge of hard pen calligraphy is very little for adults. There are many free videos online. Parents are advised to study to help their children improve faster.
Some time ago, my son attended a training class. I don't care about my homework, let him finish it by himself. The teacher gave me a lower score. Later, I began to pay attention to this problem, and the quality of my homework improved a lot.
Tip 4: Don't get angry! ! !
It is absolutely impossible for a child to write a stroke, a radical or a complete word in three or two days.
I have made such a mistake. A son has written strokes for forty or fifty times, and he is anxious to lose his temper, especially when he is still groping around.
Calm down and think about it. This is not a child's problem at all, it is my problem. Children's ability to learn to understand and control hand muscles is limited. How can we make them write well as soon as they learn? I may not be able to do it myself.
Therefore, beautiful girls who accompany homework must not walk into a dead end and don't get angry. As long as the children are serious, they will rest after the task is completed and continue to practice the next day and the third day, and the progress will gradually appear.
Tip 5: Practice every day.
According to the teacher, it usually takes two years for children to start practicing calligraphy and achieve certain results, during which they should keep practicing.
Practicing calligraphy, like learning any other skills, requires planning and long-term persistence to master it skillfully.
