Session ready for Friday. **No app to install · Works on any phone · Pen and paper** ## How a session runs See exactly what your child gets. A real gtx session. Story context, stroke order on paper grids, then three-repetition dictation. Same method a Chinese teacher uses in class. ### 1. Story context first gtx writes a short story using your child's actual word list. Reading words in context before dictation builds retention. Not rote recall. ### 2. Stroke order on 米字格 Each character demonstrated stroke by stroke on a 米字格 grid. Child traces on paper while watching. Muscle memory before the dictation begins. ### 3. Dictation. Pen and paper only Hua Hua says each word three times. Child writes by hand, then self-checks. Exactly how the school tests it. No typing, no shortcuts. ## From our curriculum team > gtx mirrors the way our teachers run 听写 in class. The student listens, writes by hand, then self-checks. The practice transfers straight to the school exam.
