I have a problem with my handwritting, its very difficult to read and would like to know how I can improve it?

Question

Since a child I always have problems with my handwritting, often teachers did not understand my responses in exams and got lower degrees for it. Is there any practical way to improve your handwritting?

Answer 1

practice

Answer 2

Stop trying to improve your handwriting, learn to touch type and you will wow your teachers with typed reports and they will never have a problem reading your handwriting again. In 2006 forget about working hard to get pretty handwriting, everything's written by computer anyway. I'm serious, all of the gradeschool teachers giving you quaint tips about practicing your cursive are well meaning but stuck in the past. Think about how much Stephen Hawkings is able to communicate by typing in phrases using his mouth, if you learn to type well you'll be an even more effective comminicator since you're lucky eneough to be able to use your two hands.

go to the website below and order Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and teach yourself to touch type in less time than it will take to practice some impractical calligraphy.

One aspect of wirtting is motoric, that is, your movements. some of these are controlled at a perceptual level (i.e. how you see the letter "come out" or perceive it) which is used for monitoring your progress. The other is motoric, menaing your hand's movements. These can be independant in that you can train your body to move in certain ways (motoric conditioning) and at such even unconsciously.

If your problem is perceptual, you may have graphlexia - a sister condition to dyslexia, where you DO understand writting, you just can't execute it properly. If your problem is motoric, you may have some dopaminergic deficiencys, or cerrebellar deficit. Either way, a practical way to tackle this head-on would be to practice writting by starting from scratch: practice writting each letter of the alphabet SLOWLY by focusing in on one letter, and writting it 30-40 times, 3 or 4 times a day for a few days. By then, you should become faster at writting the letter legibley, and the proces would have become automated (conditioned).

Answer 4

Practice is really the only way, start by practicing each letter at a time, very slowly so it looks clean. Try to keep up with the same standards when writing full words and sentences no matter how slow you have to do it. With time you will be able to speed up.

It is very easy to change writing habits if you practice somthing different. I got a palm pilot sort of deal for christmas, and you had to write an "A" a certain way for it to recognize it, I had to practice writting it that way, it only took about 2 hours, and I never went back to my old way of writting them

Answer 5

Dear Handwriting Challenged:
I suggest that you take a class in "calligraphy". "Calligrapy" means "beautiful writing".

Visualize a sheet of paper with 3 lines on it. In "calligraphy" you learn to write lower case letters between the middle and lower line and the capitals are written between the top and bottom of the three lines. The middle of each capital should hit the middle line, for example where the capital "K" crosses the horizontal line.

Also, you learn that the slant of all letters should be parallel . This makes your writing beautiful.

Answer 6

This worked for me, maybe it will work for you too! When you write, write everything in all CAPS, not just the beginning of your sentences, EVERYTHING. I did this when I was taking notes in my college classes, and it worked. My handwriting is better now than ever. I still write everything in all caps, but the beginning letter of every word is slightly bigger than the other words. I love my handwriting now! : ) You should try my method!

Answer 7

First you gotta have a good grip on the pen, take your time forming the letters. Start writing the letters of the alphabet both capital and lowercase and make sure you form them properly. Take the time out to write a few sentences but start slower and form the letters properly. Write the sentence over and over and try to increase your speed and concentrate on forming the letters.

Answer 8

Take your time. Consciously write slowly and legibly. Refuse to be rushed. Let your most natural slant come about. Practice reading what you have written. Start the practice of writing letters that you snail-mail, to one or more people.

Answer 9

Just practice. Possibly go to a teachers store and get those books that they use in school that teach kids how to write. That could help.

Answer 10

Look for someones handwriting you admire and try to imitate it. That's what I did.

Answer 11

yeah practice pretty much. write "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" over and over- since it has all the letters to the alphabet in it.
