What's inside
Everything a young reader needs
Read AND write
Trace each character stroke by stroke, then write it from memory — the way it's taught in school.
1,944 characters, Grades 1–6
Organized by term and lesson, following the real school curriculum. Grade 1 is free.
Every character in a sentence
Each character appears in a real example sentence, so meaning sticks — not just shapes.
Games that teach
Listening, fill-the-blank, matching, and mastery checks keep practice feeling like play.
Traditional & Simplified
Zhuyin (注音) and Pinyin both supported — for Taiwan, mainland, and heritage families alike.
Streaks, gems & treasures
Gentle daily reminders, streaks, and collectible gems keep kids coming back on their own.
How it works
Trace it. Then write it from memory.

Trace over the guide
Follow the faint strokes to build muscle memory, one stroke at a time.

The guide fades away — your child writes it themselves and earns a “Perfect!”
