DIY PRO · Tool 06 · GoodNotes Worksheet Kit

A workbook that lives on your iPad.

Type a character list. Out comes a 4:3 notebook built for GoodNotes and Notability: one character per page, five fading stages from full model to blank grid, a linked contents page, a QR on every page that opens that character's stroke animation, and stroke numbers on the model row — all from the same stroke data as the free tools.

Write on it with a stylus the way you would on paper. Erase the page and it is new again next week. No printing, no re-downloading, no stack of half-used sheets.

  • 4:3 pages — native for GoodNotes
  • 5 fading stages — model → blank
  • Linked contents — tap a character, jump to its page
  • Stroke-order QR — scan a page, watch the strokes
  • Erase & reuse — one page, all term
What's inside · 内含

Built for a stylus, not a printer

Every decision here comes from one question: what does a page need so a child will write on it twice without complaining?

01

4:3, the iPad's own shape原生比例

Pages are drawn at 4:3 from the first line, so GoodNotes fills the screen with no letterboxing and no pinch-zooming to reach the bottom row.

02

One character, one page一字一页

Eight columns × five rows of the same character. Enough repetition to build the muscle, not so much that the page feels like punishment.

03

Five fading stages五阶渐隐

Model → trace → trace → trace → blank. The ink thins out row by row, so the last row is written without any crutch at all.

04

Stroke numbers, real data笔顺序号

Numbers sit at the true start point of every stroke, taken from the same medians that drive the stroke-order animations — not placed by eye.

05

Linked contents目录跳转

The contents page is clickable: tap 谢 and GoodNotes jumps to that page. A forty-character notebook stops being a scroll hunt.

06

QR back to the animation扫码看笔顺

Every character page carries a small QR in the corner. When the child is stuck on stroke four and nobody is around to ask, a phone scan opens that character's animated stroke order — the same data the numbers on the page came from.

The code is baked into the PDF itself — no extra file to carry — and it doubles as a tappable link when the workbook is open on screen.

Build · 生成

One character per page. Five stages. One file.

This is the working core of the kit — the same renderer that produces the exported notebook. Change anything on the left and the 4:3 page on the right redraws live.

From export to stylus in three steps

No account, no plugin, no cloud sync. The PDF goes straight into the app you already use.

Export the PDF

Press Export the notebook. You get one file — contents page, then one 4:3 page per character — named after the title you typed.

Open it in GoodNotes

Share the file to GoodNotes, or import it from the library with New → Import. Choose “PDF” and it becomes a writable notebook.

Write, erase, repeat

Use the eraser instead of a new sheet. When the term ends, delete the annotations and the same notebook is blank again — with the contents page still linked and every QR still pointing at its character's stroke animation.

Want the rest of the workshop?

Six more tools are being built on the same character library — reading books, HSK colour-coding, dictation sheets, a repetition planner and a structure splitter.
