Grade 5 Kanji Chart

193 kanji

Grade 5 brings 193 kanji with a more abstract flavor: economics, law, measurement, ideas and conditions. They are less visual than earlier grades, which makes active recall important. This chart presents each kanji with readings, short English meanings and stroke counts, following the official school grade assignment and its order. It is aimed at learners who are well into the elementary sequence, and at teachers who need review material for upper-elementary or intermediate students. Hide the meanings and test yourself on the readings, or the other way around, by choosing what to show in the options. Once the sheet suits you, print it or save it as a PDF; your choices are kept in the page address so you can bookmark them.
