About these characters

The YCT syllabus lists words, not single characters. This page takes every character in the YCT 3 words and lists it once, in the order it first appears in the word list.

Characters already used at a lower YCT level are left out, so the four pages together cover all 662 characters in the YCT 1–4 words without repeats.

Short daily practice works best for children: a row or two per character, then the same sheet again later in the week. Use the sheets alongside the YCT 3 word list.
