From parents and teachers

This is very useful to explain the different strokes. It was the first time I introduced Chinese writing to a class of 3 to 6 years old and I think the material is a great help for introducing Chinese characters. The kids can easily see the correct direction of writing and follow the line and curves with their fingers.

Agnes’ board books distill such a complex writing system into a beautifully designed package. The colour-coded Touch & Trace books encourage visual and kinaesthetic learning with a fine sand texture to aid tactile learning. (...) From a teaching perspective, these resources are pedagogically excellent.

She loved them!!! She went through all of them without stopping and then wiped them off and did it again. She's not quite ready for the proper order but we talked it through with the book to lay the groundwork. Totally obsessed! Thank you so much for making them!!
