Q:
My child takes a long time to recognise Chinese characters. Even after learning many times, he still forgets easily. How can I help him?
A:
Slow recognition is not the problem — using the wrong method is.
Many children struggle because：
• They only memorise the shape of the word
• There is no visual/contextual connection
• Learning is not reinforced properly
The right method helps children truly remember words.
How Aiwen helps with character recognition
With the 3D ARTS Chinese Learning Method, character learning becomes easier:
A – Art:
Visual memory through cards, colours, imagery
R – Reading:
Whiteboard recognition, reading aloud, sentence usage
T – Tactile:
Hands-on learning—pointing, arranging cards, writing
S – Story:
Simple stories that give meaning and context
With multi-sensory learning, one character becomes easy to see → read → understand → remember.
Once recognition improves, reading and writing improve naturally.
If you’d like to know your child’s current recognition level, Aiwen offers a 30-minute Chinese Learning Assessment to identify learning gaps.
