The course groups syllabic forms, labialized forms, numerals and punctuation. Compare forms within a row to notice the changes in shape and in the supplied reading. Separate common-word practice is available elsewhere in the library.

Examples from the lessons

Compare the original written form with the supplied reading or equivalent. Try covering the answer column before checking it.

How to practice

Begin with a short chart group. Hide the readings and identify the complete form, then mix a few learned groups so you are recognizing characters rather than recalling their positions.
