I have found I can easily, well, more easily I should say, memorize characters for reading versus writing. IE, out of a hundred characters, I can see 95 of them and say the word. However, I may only be able to write 60 of them or so. I've been adding about 10-15 characters per week and I can memorize them for reading within a few days but it takes a lot longer to remember how to write them so I am slowing down on adding new characters until I can write every one I've added. My question is this-
Do most of you move on once you can read a character or do you stop until you can write it?
My thought has been to just move one and keep developing the ability to recognize them and eventually I will remember how to write them. My wife says I should wait until I can write them all before I move on. My argument is that most of us can read a word and reconize it even though we may not know how to spell a word. There are a lot of words my 8 year old can read but if I asked her to spell the word she could not. So I am asking you all what you do. Wait until you can write it or do you move on once you can read it?
Thanks in advance for your input.
