Abstract: This study investigated the role of logographeme complexity and the number of logographeme in Chinese children's writing development,using data of a one-year-longitudinal study (n=262).It also explored how the orthographic awareness contributes to the development of children's wiring ability.Experiment 1 discovered that Chinese children's writing units evolved from strokes to logographeme.With strokes fixed,children would make mistakes by writing incorrect strokes and logographeme for complicated characters,and substituting one logographeme with another when writing simple characters.Experiment 2 showed that when logographeme complexity was controlled,the number of logographeme would significantly affect children's writing accuracy.Children are more inclined to make mistakes in writing complicated characters,with certain logographeme missed or substituted.Experiment 3 found that one can predict the kids'writing performance at the time and in the next year through their orthographic awareness in the first grade.This suggested the orthographic awareness plays an important role in children's writing development.

Key words: Writing development of Chinese characters, delayed copy, orthographic awareness, Chinese children
