Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they're worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting. To improve handwriting, here are five steps that really work.
Get good grasp. Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil in the correct way, writing is much easier. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb. Hold it in place with your index and your middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide line. Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (比例均衡). So "a" should be half the height of capital "A". Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely.
Slow down. If your handwriting is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
Play games. Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills that you need to control your pen better.
