Free Printable Chinese Preview Card - New Character Study Tool

What is a Chinese Preview Card Template?

A Chinese preview card is a structured learning tool designed to help elementary students systematically preview new characters and words before learning a new text. It gathers the core attributes of a Chinese character—such as its form, pronunciation, radical, structure, and related words—onto a single card. By guiding students through a series of actions like 'looking up, reading, writing, and forming words,' it encourages active exploration and mastery of characters, greatly enhancing the efficiency and depth of pre-lesson preparation.

Who is it for?

  • Lower and middle elementary school students who need to complete pre-lesson character previews.
  • Beginners of Chinese as a foreign language who want to learn characters systematically.
  • Chinese language teachers who need to provide standardized preview tools for their students.
  • Parents who are helping their children develop good study habits at home.

How to Use the Chinese Preview Card Template?

  1. Write the Character: In the 'Character' column's grid, carefully write the new character for the day.
  2. Look Up Attributes: Use a dictionary or other reference tools to find and fill in the character's pinyin, initial, radical, and structural type.
  3. Read Aloud: Look at the 'Pinyin' column and read the character's pronunciation loudly and accurately.
  4. Expand Vocabulary: In the 'Word' columns, form at least three common words for each character and try to understand their meanings.

Application Scenarios

  • Pre-lesson Study: As the standard first step before learning a new text, to clear obstacles with new characters in advance.
  • In-class Dictation: Teachers can use the content from the preview cards for in-class character or word dictation tests.
  • Final Review: Collect all the preview cards from a semester to create a personalized 'character review booklet.'
  • Character Competitions: It can be used as a question bank for family or class character competitions, adding fun to learning.
