Improve Your Handwriting: A Comprehensive Online Course

In this lesson, we’re going to examine your current handwriting and evaluate its deficiencies. We’ll do this with the help of pages 1 and 2 of your worksheet set, so make sure you have them handy!

Now that you’ve diagnosed what your particular issues are, let’s talk about setting yourself up for writing success! In this lesson, we’ll discuss optimal writing conditions, examine the qualities of a good pen, and and talk about how to hold it. If you’re a lefty, there’s a special video here just for you!

At this point, you should have a good idea of what to write with, how to write, and what to work on. Now, we’re going to use that knowledge to complete some drills! While these drills may seem simple, their results are powerful. I urge you to complete all the drills: they are vital in strengthening your pen control!

It’s important to be able to write in neat and legible print! We all use print writing for everyday tasks like filling out forms, and some people prefer to use print as their default handwriting. In this lesson, you’ll learn tips for improving your print, and you’ll practice using a few different exemplars.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to write in cursive neatly and comfortably! Among other things, you should try to pick up your pen every 3-4 letters and rotate your paper if you wish to achieve a nice right-leaning slant.

We’ll begin the last lesson of the course with a few practice suggestions! Then, we’ll move on to observing others’ handwriting, which is one of the most effective ways to develop a handwriting style that suits you. (Remember, handwriting is a patchwork of letters that you’ve seen before and admire.) We’ll start with print examples and make our way to cursive!
