Grade 1 handwriting pack

First-grade writing comes down to three things: recognising characters, getting stroke order right, and fitting a character inside its box. This pack starts from Tianzige and adds character grids, stroke order, four-line paper and mental maths for the whole first term.

What's in the pack

Chinese Writing Practice Paper

The four-part tianzige grid that keeps characters square and centred

Chinese Pinyin Writing Paper

Chinese Stroke Order Writing Sheets

Trace, then outline, then write from memory — three fading levels

Primary Handwriting Paper

Three-space writing lines with dotted midline for young learners

Column Addition Math Paper

Vertical arithmetic with digits lined up place for place

Suggested order

1
Start with Tianzige — 2cm cells or larger give small hands room to land the stroke.
2
Add Pinyin Tianzige and the character grid: one trains pronunciation, the other trains structure.
3
Top up with stroke order, four-line paper and maths drills as the term goes on.

Common questions

Tianzige or Mi-Zi-Ge for a beginner?

Tianzige. The diagonals in Mi-Zi-Ge distract beginners — switch once they are steady, usually from grade 2.

How large should a cell be?

2–2.5cm for grade 1. Any smaller and the character does not fit; much larger and it starts to fall apart.

Does Pinyin Tianzige add the tone marks?

Yes. Type the characters and the pinyin with tone marks is placed above them automatically.
