Feedback for comprehensive kana chart (Feel free to use)

I’ve been trying to create a comprehensive Kana chart for my younger students (10-13yo), and wanted to see if I could get any useful feedback from this subreddit.

[Here is the link to the PDF.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vaX8E7gjBJ8y-bHJ_EzztH8-SSFPoVlp/view?usp=sharing)

Reasoning for style choices I’ve made:

* I’ve made it read horizontally from left to right (instead of vertically from right to left) to make it easier for English L1 learners of Japanese since I have younger students who have a hard time with changing the way they scan a chart for information. I also usually print this out two pages per page(one piece of paper front and back), so that the first two pages actually are side by side, and the third and fourth page are also side by side on the back of the same paper.
* I’ve used the Kyokasho font that Apple includes in their OS, since I want to encourage my students to write their kana like that instead of the typed font that connects stroke, like the third and fourth strokes in き, for example.
* Included examples for how small つ is used and the ー in katakana is used, since students tend to forget.
* Included special katakana combinations, which appear in people and place names relevant to my students.

Please let me know if you notice anything, or if you have anything that is not included that would have been helpful for you as a beginner learner! And if you are a beginner learner or know anyone who would find this helpful, feel free to use it 🙂
