STRAW is an acronym which stands for “Speak To Read And Write". It is a specially designed interactive card game, applying a whole-brain approach and multi-sensory learning strategies to learn Chinese characters.
We have created a set of cards with artistically designed graphics and visual effects to provide hints on “form and meaning” for each Chinese character. This will help users to recognize, read, write and even create words and phrases.
