Using 真棒

真 is “really” and 棒 is “great; excellent”, so 真棒 is “really great!” — the praise for performance. A neat row of handwriting, a finished puzzle, a goal at soccer: all earn 真棒! from parents and teachers, usually with a thumbs-up.

The phrase is identical in Traditional Chinese. It belongs to a family of short praises kids collect like stickers: 真棒 (awesome), 太好了 (great!), 好样的 (that's the spirit). For handwriting practice it is a kind choice — 真 and 棒 are both common, medium-difficulty characters that look impressive on a child's first praise card.
