The Assistive Technology in Chinese Characters Instructional Program includes the digital pen and the digital board for students to learn the meaning of the Chinese words, Chinese characters primitives, Chinese characters writing, phonetic symbols, and Chinese characters recognition. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. This study consisted of 41 second-grade students in two classes from the elementary school in Pingtung County. They were administered in two groups. The Assistive Technology in Chinese Characters Instructional Program was implemented in the experimental group, while the control group was implemented in the traditional way. The dependent variables were Chinese Characters Achievement Test and Chinese Characters Retention Test. The data was analyzed with one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The major findings of research were as follows: （1）The experimental group scored higher in the Chinese Characters Achievement Test than the control group did. （2）The experimental group performed better in phonetic symbols and Chinese characters primitives than the control group did in the Chinese Characters Achievement Test. （3）The experimental group scored higher in the Chinese Characters Retention Test than the control group did. （4）The experimental group performed better in Chinese characters writing, phonetic symbols, the meaning of the Chinese words and Chinese characters primitives than the control group did in the Chinese Characters Retention Test.
