What you get
Reading a character and writing one are different skills, and only one of them makes the character stick. These sheets take the 1,000 most common characters and give you room to write each one out properly, with a stroke order diagram to follow, so you build the right habit from the first attempt.
Print a page, fill it in, print it again tomorrow.
