字詞學習是小學語文教育的基礎。便利的工具，定能促進學習。

《小學學習字詞表》是依據香港教育局編訂的《香港小學學習字詞表》及《常用字字形表》所開發的手機學習應用程式。 

 本應用程式收錄《常用字字形表》中共4762個中文漢字，可用部首或直接輸入漢字搜尋，顯示搜尋字的筆順動畫、倉頡碼、普通話拼音、粵語拼音、異體字、簡單英文解釋及其相關詞語。

- 支援簡體字、異體字、倉頡碼搜尋
- 支援普通話拼音、粵語拼音搜尋
- 無論單字、詞語、 四字詞語都支援普通話、粵語、英文讀音，讀音齊全
- 收藏功能，收藏並分組字詞，方便溫習
- 下載工作紙功能，根據你的要求製作自定字組工作紙
- 可以直接輸入字去製作工作紙

小學用字一覽表包含「香港小學學習字詞研究」所得3,171字，分學習階段按筆畫序列出，第一學習階段（小一至小三）2,169字，第二學習階段（小四至小六）1,002字。

-------
為什麼《小學學習字詞表》應用程式內有些漢字的寫法，跟書本、電腦、手機顯示字型不一樣？

本應用程式收錄的《常用字字形表》應用於香港印刷課本，《常用字字形表》中的字形有著香港語言特色，部份漢字的字形、筆劃、筆順甚至電腦輸入法跟中國內地、台灣和日本等地應用的漢字有差異。《常用字字形表》字形為楷書， 故此對其他地區研發和使用電腦字體如黑體、圓體和宋體等規範並不適用。

-------
為什麼《小學學習字詞表》應用程式內有些漢字的寫法，跟家長讀書時學習的不一樣？

本應用程式收錄的《常用字字形表》二十多年來經過六次修訂，於 2007年修訂重排本按讀音和字義必須完全相同的嚴格標準檢視列出異體字。家長讀書時學習的字形，或許因為《常用字字形表》多次修改而跟子女現在學習的有差異，過去學習的字形或許現在被列為異體字或在註解上列作舊寫法。《常用字字形表》編訂者表示，《常用字字形表》只屬參考而不是《正字表》，不必視它為唯一標準，只要學生寫的是通行的異體字而不是錯別字教師應採取寬容態度處理。


請注意本應用程式所提供的資料，如字形、筆順等，僅屬參考性質，並非唯一的、硬性的標準。

### 4/5 — 意见与建议

*2020-09-15*

1.全面支持简体,支持所有简繁字体,
2.app不要叫小学学习字词表了,建议改为繁中字词表或者繁中字词大全.
3.加入收藏夹概念,加入同步icloud功能.
4.查询界面的简繁边界线不够清晰,
5.读音建议不要全屏弹窗,直接发音就行,如果提心用户识别问题,可高亮显示或者加边框区分正在读音的词组.
6.为了更直接明了,建议凡是可点击发音的词组放上小喇叭即可.当发音时小喇叭变色,
7.让工作纸可下载可转换pdf.
8.对于词组与常用词也建议不要弹窗给选择功能,可选功能以图标形式放于蓝色标题栏内,用户选择后以变色处理.

### 1/5 — 字詞表不正確

*2020-05-14*

誤導別人，曼字顯示是又部首，查字典一直查不到，後來在日部首的才找到這個字

### 4/5 — Good dictionary, average coverage of 粵

*2019-06-10*

There are plenty of terms and definitions, but it lacks some of the fundamental character definitions such as 佢. That, and the fact that characters written as 的 are not pronounced as 佢 in Cantonese.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2017-10-18*

Really an amazing app!
