All About Handwriting

[KoalaBear37]

I trained my kids of how to write neatly by:


When they write untidily in the book, I will get them to rub and write the answers again.

I will get those books with many lines to train their handwriting.

Maybe u can try these methods and see if it will work. :xedfingers:

My child’s School teachers complimented that my daughter has very very neat hand writing for both English and Chinese! as a parent, I felt very happy, all my effort pay off.

Just a suggestion :


Instead of practising handwriting, send the children to art class. By learning how to draw, it helpps to achieve better handwriting.

Serious? Phobia, u have something to share with us?

Your post came at a right time. Yesterday I was sitting with my little one while he does his paper work. I noted that he was drawing better than before, and yup, he was writing better than before. All the letters, spaces are better positioned and appropriately sized.

Both of boys go for art class. My K2 boy has handwriting most people comment as very neat. His Chinese handwriting looks very tidy.
I guess the art class helped him a lot. I didn't give him any supplementary to practise handwriting. Only gave them plenty of pre writing exercises (eg. Dots to dots, maize, colouring)
As children grow, the space awareness and the gauging sense grow better, so their handwriting will improve. It's best to change them while they are in kindergartens, else their ugly handwriting will stay with them for life.

Phobia,


Did you kid's started off writing well, even before the art classes? According to my child's teacher at the cc, she observed that girls write better. At this stage, all I ask for is for my child to write legibly. Hopefully, he will write neatly in time to come,

I also have some qns for you here

When the kid is able to write legibly, but perhaps not \"neat and tidy\", do you still let the kid practise on those penmanship exercises? My little one is able to write already but he is still writing one big, one small... So I got him some writing exercises for just alphabets (one letter one page). He got offended and said he's capable of more :slapshead:

My DD is in P1 this year. When she was in K1 , the teacher praised her handwriting very neat and nice. Indeed it is very neat. But in K2 her handwriting started to be untidy until now still the same. I tell her to write neatly but still the same. What can I do to help her the change it?
