Based on the official 统编版/人教版 Semester 1 curriculum (识字表, the ~300-character reading list every Grade 1 child meets in the first term). This tool covers the core of that list, grouped the same way the textbook introduces them, so you can work through it a little at a time this summer.
How to use this with your child: Flip through Flashcards together — say the pinyin out loud, then reveal the meaning. Once a group feels familiar, switch to Quiz mode and let your child pick the answer themselves. 10-15 characters a day is plenty; this covers recognition (reading), which matters most before Grade 1 starts. A star is earned for every new character learned and every quiz question answered correctly, and progress is saved automatically on this device.

天
Say the word out loud, no reading needed — your child listens and taps the matching character. Pick a topic together, then hand over the screen.
