Dear Students, Do you know why your parents and teachers always tells you to write in good hand writing? It is because  Good Hand Writing has its own advantages. Your writing depicts your personality. Before we learn how to write in good hand writing, let's see why writing is necessary.

         Advantages of Writing:-

• It Improves concentration level.
• It Improves memory.
• It Enhances creativity.

 Following are some tips to improve your handwriting.  

Use Good Quality Pen/Pencil.

Always use good quality pen/pencil for writing (I'm not saying only the expensive one). Do not use too heavy or too light weight pen. At the beginning try to use gel pen and then switch to ball pen. Ball pen helps to write faster than gel pen. In case of pencil use triangular one, it provides good grip.

Maintain Proper Grip.

It is important to hold the pen/pencil in proper way for good handwriting. As shown in above picture Tripod Grip is the most comfortable for writing. In this rest your pen/pencil on the middle finger and hold it with thumb and index finger. 

Stabilise Paper With Non-Dominating Hand.

Here  non-dominant hand is the one which you're not using for writing. If you are right handed then left hand is your non-dominant hand and vice versa. Use your non dominant hand for holding the paper so that it doesn't move and disturbs you while writing. Using non-dominant hand also provides good support to body and reduces stress over it. 

Maintain Proper Posture.

Whenever you sit for writing check the following:

1. Feet flat on the floor.
2. Thighs parallel to floor and knees at 90°.
3. Forearm resting on the desk at 90°. 
4. Stabilize paper with non-dominant hand.
5. Keep your head, neck & shoulder relaxed.
6. Tilt the paper up to the right(if you're right handed) or up to left(if you're left handed).)

Keep Your Writing Proportionate

Many student's writing font is either too large or its too small that it couldn't be even read. Dear students to make your writing impressive, try to write all the letters in a word in proportion. Try to keep height of small letters equal to 2/3rd of the height of the capital letters. Maintain constant spacing between the two words also between the letters of a word. Avoid overcrowding of words in a line. 

Apply Proper Pressure.

While writing with pencil or even pen apply proper PRESSURE. Your writing should be visible but at the same time it should not look shabby.

For Slant Writing

Avoid slant handwriting as far as possible. But if you are used to it then try to maintain the consistency in slanting letters.

Avoid Scribbling & Maintain Neatness

Many a times students commits mistakes while writing. In such case simply cross the wrong word with single line instead of scribbling and making it look shabby.

Be Unique.

Your handwriting makes you unique...So Never try to copy someone else's hand writing style. Be original. Maintain your individuality in your handwriting.
