Five steps to better handwriting

Some kids love handwriting, but others hate it when it's time to put pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? ①__________Here are five steps that really work!

Get a great grasp

Try this - hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. ②__________Hold it in place with your thumb(拇指), and your index and middle fingers.

Let the lines be your guide

Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are of the right size and proportion (比例).③__________Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.

Lower the pressure (压力)

④__________That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try relaxing and don't hold the pencil too hard.

⑤__________

Lots of games need you to write or draw pictures. So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills you need to control your pencil better.

A. Play games

B. Ask for advice

C. You've been writing since you were a little kid.

D. So "a" should be half the height of a capital "A".

E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
