Keep in mind that "verb stem" + 方 is a noun. When using this construction you have to use の instead of を.
漢字を書く ---> 漢字の書き方
本を読む ---> 本の読み方
This also works in combination with other particles. (You may want to take a look at the usage of the particle の^-^)
東京へ行く ---> 東京への行き方
But be careful about で. Although a construction like 筆での書き方 is grammatically correct, it is not commonly used. In that case it's better to say 筆の使い方 instead.
