Three kinds of sheets
- Characters – each character (or word) gets its own row: a model to copy, gray copies to trace, then empty boxes. Pinyin, step-by-step stroke order and the meaning sit above the row.
- Text – paste a text or a poem and it flows through the grid box by box, with pinyin on top. Add tracing rows or empty rows under each line.
- Questions – numbered questions, each followed by empty rows for the answer.
Also
- 米 rice, 田 field, 九宫 nine-square or plain grids, in any color
- Box size, row and column gaps, margins, A4 or Letter paper
- A title, a name and date line, and page numbers on every page
- Tone-colored pinyin, and dictation sheets that hide the characters but keep the pinyin
- Word lists with your own pinyin and meanings, one per line:
朋友 péngyou friend (numbers work too: lv4se4)
- Tap any character to watch its stroke order, then practice writing it with your mouse or finger
- Share a worksheet as a link
- Print it, or pick Save as PDF in the print dialog
Everything runs in the browser. Your text and settings are saved in this browser's local storage.
