Handwriting Tips
General learning-step practice tips
# Let the child explore by scribbling.
# 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 each letter on English notebook. Do it for the upper case 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.
# Now proceed to learn lowercase / small letters.
# Practice regularly.
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
D P B R J G Q U
