Does nice handwriting come naturally?

Answer 1

Not usually - it's something developed, but with computers and less writing, I suspect less people will have neat handwriting.

Answer 2

It doesn't. A lot of practise is needed to improve ones handwriting. There should also be a desire to improve handwriting, and conscious effort should be made.
In our school days, we used to have practice books for improving handwriting. Each page would have at the top a letter or a word printed between two parallel lines from one end to the other of the page, and several sets of two lines with identical sized blank spaces, were printed below it. We were asked to start at the bottom pair of parallel lines and copy the letter or word printed some 5 or 6 pairs of lines above it, gradually extending to the lines immediately below the printed lines. This is a hard task but it did improve handwriting.
With the advent of typewriters and now computers, very little time is spent on writing by hand. This does result in poor handwriting output.

Answer 3

Of course not. Takes lots of practice. It is true that kids these days don't feel the need for neat handwriting since everything seems to be typed on the computer. I remember in grade school I had to work for hours on my handwriting. I had a teacher that just taught handwriting and I am grateful for it to this day. I have neat handwriting. I am gonna do the same for my daughter. Handwriting is becoming a lost art in our world of technology.

Answer 4

No - it takes practice, and lots of it. I'm probably a member of the last generation that was graded on handwriting; I write better than most people who are younger than me, and my handwriting garnered a C most of the time, at best.

Answer 5

No. We all wish it were otherwise but nice handwriting comes about mostly by accident nowadays, when it develops at all. Making certain this refinement takes place means insisting on the consumption of a great many fresh vegetables and years of development in other ways, too. Ratcheting up of shoe sizes for instance.

Answer 6

In part, perhaps. People have always said that I have beautiful penmanship. As a child in grade school, I spend many hours practicing my writing skills to duplicate those in the instruction manual. With a natural artistic ability and good eye-hand coordination skills, I was able to do this, more or less. Also, I have always taken my time when writing (like Christmas cards and such) and I concentrate on writing clearly and neatly.

Answer 7

No. It takes practice, which is why very few students today have nice handwriting - they never do much writing by hand.

Answer 8

No, it comes with practise. I didnt start off with good handwriting but can write quite well now. Try writing as much as u can.

Answer 9

YES. Sometimes it is a talent, but still a gemstone in the rough requires polishing. Love and practise will help, ex: I always liked beautiful, neat hand writing, especially calligraphy. I was talented, but I practised a lot.

There are tracing books to teach you how to hand-write neatly, even when you are not talented.

You got the will and the stamina, you will do it. Good luck.

Answer 10

They don't. The way I see people improve in their handwriting is if they are inspired by other people's penmanship and practice to change it.
