Why should the frequently used characters be learnt firstly?
The essence of CCC character learning is to help students to be able to read as quickly as possible. When a person masters 400 of the most frequently used characters, he/she should be able to do some preliminary reading. When a person masters 1000 of the frequently used characters, he/she could understand more than 70% content of any newspapers and books.
