Does everyone tell you that your handwriting is really bad? Do your teachers often scold you for having a really terrible handwriting? If that's the case then you're not the only one out there. Lots of people have a terrible handwriting and want to improve it. If you go through this article, you'll find steps and tips that might make your handwriting the most beautiful one in the classroom. Go on...
1Choose a pen you are comfortable with. Gel pens are good for big, bold handwriting and fountain pens work well for sharp, cursive handwriting. Using ball pens is a bad idea because even people with the most beautiful handwriting have trouble writing with them.Ad
2Sit in a correct body posture. Relax and hold the pen comfortably but firmly when you are going to start handwriting. Choose a well lit area with a table and chair.
3Borrow your friend's notes. It would be better if you borrow a person's notes whose handwriting you adore rather than take a notebook from your friend who has a shabby handwriting.
4After that look at the way your friend (with that neat handwriting) has written on the note copy. Note the way how your friend writes with what style and the way he/she holds the pen.
5Start practicing your handwriting. For this ask your friend with neat handwriting to write A, B, C, ... Z on your practice copy and then start copying the A, B, Cs that your friend has written. Maybe doing it 10 times will carry off to a good start. Do this every day for about a week.
6Start writing words that actually mean something. Again go to your friend and tell him/her to write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in the neatest handwriting possible. The reason for using this sentence is that it has covered all the 26 letters in the English language. Then write the sentence (about 20 times) in the same way that your friend has written.
7Later on, after you've finished with that sentence, you must be able to write in the same way that your friend has written. If not, ask your friend's note copy and copy (in the same way) in your practice copy to practice more. If you can write neatly without looking at that note copy then you're probably done. Just go ahead and copy a story from a book in your copybook to practice more.
8If you think you've got neat handwriting don't be so sure of it. Go and ask your buddies and teachers if your handwriting is neat enough. If they give you a thumbs up, you're done. You have mastered the way to write neatly.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Use a good quality paper when writing. Most of the low grade papers shed out too much ink. (if you're using a fountain pen)
- Go for good quality pens rather than cheap ones.
- Always remember your posture, never tilt your head too much while practicing. It will cause a hard time to your neck.
- Most of the times, when people are going to start something new, they sweat a lot. So don't sweat while practicing, it will make the pen slip away .
- Practice for half an hour everyday. Don't overdo it.
- Never use ball pen for writing.
