Literacy: 2,000+ characters
Rote memorization Characters taken
from dialogues Uncommon,
irregular characters No education about
structure

Recommended Learning Strategy
Studies: Better readers use structural knowledge!
Teach character structure Focus on semantic radicals Use common, “regular” characters
