Tip No.1:-
MAINTAIN A GOOD SITTING POSITION
Keep your shoulders straight but don't be very stiff.Try to sit comfortably.Don't bend them too much.This will be very helpful when you are trying to improve your handwriting.
If you are a right-handed person place the right corner of your page high or tilt your page towards the left and if you are a left-handed person place the left corner of the page high or tilt the page towards the right.
Tip No 2:-
MAINTAIN A GOOD GRIP
The way you hold your pen plays a very prominent role in improving your handwriting.Prefer a soft and comfortable grip.(Pro tip-Don't hold your grip too tightly as it can cause strain while writing).
Tip no.3:-
KEEP THE SPACING BETWEEN LETTERS AND WORDS CONSISTENT
If you stick your letters and words too much try to space them out a bit and if you leave too much gap between them try to reduce it(In short just be consistent with your spacing and you will be good to go)
Tip no.4:-
DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH PRESSURE
Applying excess pressure can create impression on the next page which is not a very good sign.Use a soft grip and apply normal pressure.
Tip no.5:-
KEEP THE SLANTS CONSISTENT
Some people write with a right slant, some write with the left while some prefer them straight.Be consistent with your preferred choice of writing.
Tip no.6:-
DON'T TANGLE LETTERS AND WORDS
When we write something in hurry we tend to tangle letters and words i.e when your ascenders and descenders are not written properly.(Try to avoid doing that as it does not help your handwriting at all)
Tip No.7:-
CONNECTION PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE
While writing do not join letters as it can affect your handwriting badly.Try to write each letter neatly and clearly.
Tip No.8:-
PRACTICE,PRACTICE AND PRACTICE
Now it may sound cliche but the principle of "Practice makes a man perfect" even applies when we are trying to improve our handwriting.Initially practice writing slowly and apply all the above tips and once you get used to it try to gradually improve your speed.
Tip No.9:-
SELECT GOOD WRITING TOOLS
Just mere selection of good writing tools will help you in improving your handwriting. There are different pens available in the market with different nibs like ball pens,gel pens,ink pens,pilot pens,etc.Use the one with which you are most comfortable and which gives smooth flow to your writing and make sure that the ink does not smudge.Remeber to not start writing your exams with a new pen as it does not give a smooth flow.First practise with the new pens a little with your home and than use them for your exams.
Bonus tip no.10:-
EMBRACE YOUR HANDWRITING STYLE
Be proud of your own personal handwriting style and don't try to compare it to anyone else as everyone has their unique handwriting style.Don't get frustrated when initially you have bad handwriting, with practice you will only get better and better.
