Good handwriting not only gives good feeling, it also reflects
the person's characteristics and behaviour. The importance of
handwriting has not diminished with the development of
technologies. Handwriting is essential for children because it
activates the brain with cognitive skills and motor control. It
also contributes to the visual perception of letters and gives the
positive impact on grades. So let's learn how to improve the
handwriting.
Analyze the Handwriting
If you feel you need to change the handwriting, you
know for sure your handwriting is not good. So analyze your
handwriting for improvement. Analyze things such as letter shapes,
letter spacing, word spacing, alignment, letter size and the angle
of words.
Try copying other
handwriting
The best way to improve your handwriting is by getting
some inspirational handwriting and copying to look
similar.
Write in
air
This may seem crazy, but it works. Try writing a full
sentences in the air with your finger. Use your entire arm upto the
shoulder. This will force your muscles to co-ordinate in group.
Try different materials and
style
It is best to find best material for your use. Try
using different types of pen with different tip size, to find the
best combination for your handwriting. Do not change the item
often. Also do not change your writing style often. Try mastering
one set of style and jump to another, if you must. Try different
holding style to your pen, that may also give you strength and
weakness of the certain holding style.
Practice and
Practice
Knowing how to improve your handwriting will not
improve your handwriting. So, you must practice writing. Always
write things, this will not only improve your handwriting but will
also improve your overall academic standard. Try writing the phrase
"The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" or "Pack my box with
five dozen liquor jugs". Focus on alphabets you feel difficult to
write.
