寫字教材中字詞排序的理念和實踐

識字教學中的認字和寫字應分途進行。「多認少寫」是目前教育界所提倡的。然而，甚麼字最適合孩子初學書寫的呢？本文旨在說明編纂寫字教材的理念和方法。首先，筆者一方面訂下寫字教材設計的原則；一方面根據學術研究的成果，選出漢字常用的成字部件。然後，按原則把部件依次編排並組合成常用詞語作書寫的字頭。這套寫字教材共八冊，刊印前曾在香港一所幼稚園試行了兩年。
In the teaching of Chinese characters, word recognition and writing should be taught separately. “More word recognition and less writing” is the vogue in Chinese language teaching nowadays. When children learn to write, which Chinese characters should they start with first? This article presents ideas and methods to develop Chinese character writing materials. The writer proposed rules on the design of Chinese character writing materials based on usage frequency derived from research findings. A list of common vocabulary is compiled and used as the headwords for writing practice. This set of Chinese character writing materials has been piloted in a kindergarten for two years before publication. Copyright © 2006 香港中文大學. All rights reserved.
