It is generally observed that every third school going child has an
illegible handwriting. The teachers who teach these kids have witnessed that
the students whose grades are good have better handwriting than others. They
also say that their handwriting change and matures as they grow; probably due
to variable reasons like speed required to cover the complete syllabus or lack
of being familiar with subjects at higher levels.
Write Right, a Handwriting expert company has come up with suggesting 3
major ways to improve handwriting-
1. Maintaining a proper spacing between the
letters and words
Irregular spacing between the
words is one of the major causes of children having an illegible handwriting.
If proper training is given to kids to maintain a proper spacing and consciously
practice it in their writing, then it can definitely improve the handwriting.
2. Working on the size of letters and words
Each letter written in any form
i.e. cursive or printed style has 3 zones- upper zone (e.g. ‘d’, ‘h’, ‘l’ etc),
middle zone (e.g. ‘a’, ‘c’, ‘e’ etc) and lower zone (e.g. ‘f’, ‘g’, ‘q’ etc).
If each letter is written in their zones then it gives a proper size to words
and automatically helps in improving handwriting.
3. Creating the letters and words correctly
Each word, whether written in
cursive, print style, or in different languages, has a particular identity and
if created properly keeping the exact identity in mind, can help in making handwriting
more readable. Many people while writing fast tend to give the letters a
distorted shape. Learning speed writing techniques
can help minimize the errors.
A unique form of writing called calligraphy helps in creating one
single alphabet or art in many different ways. Joining calligraphyclasses can guide a child through proper creation of letters and
words (or even designs) when written together.
