She taught him thirty words at one go. She explained them and taught him to read them, then revised them with him twice. That was all that was needed for the child to remember them.
Next, Gu Qingyao began to teach him to write.
First, she taught him how to hold the pen, and ensured he was gripping it correctly. Gu Qingyao sat next to him and held his hand as she began to teach him how to write.
Clever children really learned very fast. After she guided him a few times, he slowly grasped the concept of writing.
Mu Mu had never tried anything like that before and had no inkling of the concept of writing.
Gu Qingyao helped him to write a little, and he gradually began to comprehend. Then he looked at the words in his book and slowly began to copy them himself.
At first, his writing was definitely not pretty, but Mu Mu learnt very fast. The more he wrote, the nicer his writing became. They could almost see the speed of his progress.
