Learn Handwriting with Free Lessons & Tips

Handwriting is an art to express what you feel. In case of children, it is an art to express their knowledge which is understandable.

In handwriting, once the cursive alphabets practice is over, we need to shift to practice as soon as possible.

Practice is very much essential and with proper timing. Slowly and steadily handwriting will become good and then better as much as possible.

Hi Don't worry about the past, think about the future. See maybe your reviews not viewed here but if the teacher is really bad then definitely she will get bad credits. As a student, now you have to show interest to improve your handwriting only. I understand your feeling, but I would like to tell you one thing- if you post the feedback properly definitely that will be visible. 

1. Not all children write clearly and legibly. Their work will be so shabby.
2. In order to improve their handwriting, one to one concentration is very much required.   
3. Teaching the correct way of using strokes and practicing on day to day basis with good motivation will result in good handwriting.   
4. Good handwriting can be presented with any type of pen/pencil, provided one is well versed with the direction and formation of strokes and cursives.

Hi Children,

Don't be tensed while writing the answers.

Read the questions 2 to 3 times.

Recall the answers and write with neat handwriting from the first sentence of the first page till the last sentence of your answer sheet.

Use cursive font as it may give you good speed.

Draw rough columns for math to work out rough calculations.

Label the diagrams and any constructions with split handwriting using a good sharp pencil.

Write page number in every answer sheet as you start using and not at the end.

All The Best.!

Handwriting Tips

General learning-step practice tips

# Start with pattern tracing.
# Watch the early letter writing-learning video (provided later on this page).
# Then do finger tracking of uppercase/capital letters as seen in the video, on sand or salt.
# Write each letter on blank paper (without any ruling). Do it for uppercase/capital letters only.
# Write the set of letters already learnt (to write). Circle the ones that are not okay. Write the same again and again over the next couple of days.

# Write the set of letters already learnt to write. Circle the ones that are not okay. Write the same again and again over the next couple of days.

General tips to help improve handwriting

# It's never going to be perfect. Just work on it to have clarity, neat and look good.
# Hold the writing instrument (pen or pencil) comfortably. The grip must not be too tight - no need to fatigue your fingers/hand while writing.
# Maintain consistent slanting.
# Paper should be at an angle - different direction for left handers and right handers.
# Letter parts to be within defined lines.
# Space letters evenly in the words.
# Space words evenly in the sentences.
# Choose the style you like and are comfortable with - regular or curve.
# Practice, practice and practice.

General learning tips

# Watch closely someone write each letter and also words.
A teacher/tutor / parent can write and child can watch. The other tools are videos that show writing.
# Learn-Teach to write letters in regular font/style, not in the A-Z sequence of letters. Learn-Teach each set of letters together. This applies to upper case as well as lower case letters. Details are in the workbook. An example follows.

# Learn-Teach capital letters in regular style, not in the A-Z sequence of letters but as:

* Straight lines only
I T L F E H

* Straight and slant lines
V W X Y A N M K Z

* Straight and curvy lines
