These are the Kanji presented in MoHS Level 1 and 2. Learning Kanji is like learning to create images of vocabulary words. Like learning to spell in English, Kanji is a visualization of the item, concept or word. Learning the correct stroke order, size, shape, proportions and angles allows or efficient communication of ideas. Just as we have various spelling rules in English, we have stroke order rules for Kanji. Please be sure to write the characters in the correct stroke order to allow for ease of writing (there's a reason for it to be in that order) and with the correct proportions (so it is not mistaken for something else). There are various resources linked to this page to allow for more detailed exploration of each character. Let's have some fun writing Kanji!

Sudoku:  Played just like a regular sudoku puzzle, but in place of the numerals, use the vocabulary. There should be nine words in each puzzle. Each word appears once per column and once per line. It also appears once in each of the nine sections. Don't cheat by using numbers! Follow the directions carefully for maximum effect.

Learning to use kanji is like learning to spell difficult words. Once we learn the spelling of words, we don't sound out each letter, but see it as a picture or composite of the letters in their particular order.  Kanji can be though of the same way. The strokes would be equivalent to the spelling- the order of the letters, which in turn becomes a picture or composite. Just like spelling in English, kanji takes practice, repetition and application. Use the different types of activities below to help you start your practice. After that, it's really up to you to maintain your knowledge, ability to recognize and produce the kanji to apply it in appropriate situations.
