Improve Your Print and Cursive Handwriting & Penmanship For Beginners

1. Welcome to the inside of this handwriting course: Hi there. Thank you so much for joining me inside this course where we're going to be focusing on improving your handwriting. This course is going to be filled with different exercises and different printouts that are gonna be focusing from the very, very basics of forming the letters focusing on the size of each letter to the more advance of rewriting specific sentences, paragraphs and so forth. So if you're ready to improve your handwriting, let's continue on to next lecture. 2. 3 Important Concepts of Improving Your Handwriting: Now the next concepts that I want you to now be aware of, keeping the back of your mind as you start to go through the print and cursive handwriting sections is the concept of your baseline, your handwriting pressure, and your slants. There's a different type of slant variability that you can have when you're writing. All of these things come into play when it comes to having consistent legible handwriting. So looking at the screen, I have shown you the baseline, which is this line right here. So say I write aunt, as you can see in cursive, this is gonna be the main area that you write that is known as the middle zone. The one below it would be the lower zone, and then above it is the upper zone. Now when anyone writes, typically in the middle zone is where they stay. But if you don't have a line piece of paper, that is where it gets a little bit interesting. Because you as a writer can use the upper, middle, and lower zone, right? So for letters like t is going to be in the upper, a letter like why is gonna be in the lower zone. But if you do not have a line piece of paper, could you right in the middle, the upper and lower zone, could you letters? Very yes. So my goal to make your handwriting clear and legible, we are going to be focusing on making letters that are going to be staying on the baseline that may touch the upper and lower zone. But after completing this course, if you do have a blank piece of paper, you should be able to write ant without having your baseline curve up or curved down or going from the middle to the upper zone on your sheet. So as an example, instead of having a straight baseline and you could write aunt like this, even though your baseline is still the same without having aligned piece of paper, we really want to focus on the baseline and staying on the baseline to help make our handwriting legible and not all over the page. Now, the next thing I want to talk to you about is the pressure of your pen or pencil while you are going through all of these different worksheets to retrain your hand and your hand eye coordination for each specific letter, the goal is to have an even and consistent pressure without poking through to the back of your paper. Or even if you run your hand on the back of your piece of paper, you should not be able to feel any of the ridges from your pen. So for example, the letter t, I'm not pressing too hard or too light. Because if it was too light, I almost don't have full control over my pen because I'm barely holding it. Focus on having even pressure. That's the goal. Now the very last thing I want you to keep in mind is your slant. Now some of you might like to have a little bit more of a slant than others, but we don't want a slant variability in a writing. What do I mean by that? Looking at the slant of the word little, you can see these two, the L and the I start out good. Then we have the T, then we have the second t, Then we have the L, and then we have the e. This is the slant variability that I am talking about where the word that you are writing is going every which way. Instead of having the same degree slant and rewriting little width the same type of slant. You can see the slant is staying consistent. The baseline is straight. The letters do go into the upper zone, but they are relatively consistent and the pressure does not vary with each letter that I write. So keeping these three things in mind is gonna be very, very important. If you want to improve your handwriting. 3. Handwriting Supplies Needed: now jumping into the supplies needed for this course is, of course, a writing instrument of your choice. I am going to recommend either a pencil to start out with and then down the road, maybe switched to a pen once you feel more comfortable, and then as a very, very important note, majority of these exercises will have a printable sheet to go along with them. So I want you to print out all of these different worksheets and follow along with me throughout this course because thes worksheets are going to be the main resource that you're going to utilize when it comes to completing specific steps to improve in your handwriting. Now, of course, you can go through the scores, not print out any of the work sheets, but that is going to make this course absolutely useless to you. This course is very, very hands on, because my goal is not only teacher basics off what you need when it comes to improve your handwriting, but to have as much practice as possible through these different worksheets to start improving your handwriting by today or within the week. So go ahead, grab your writing instrument and let's continue on to next lecture 4. Your Handwriting Speed Test : So my promise to you at the very beginning of this course, and even in the introductory promotional video, was that I guaranteed your professional handwriting would improve by the end of this course and I plan to keep it. But in order for you to see the transformation in your writing, the improvement in your writing, we need to start with having a current baseline of your print and cursive handwriting that you can go back to at the end of the course, rewrite the same sentence and see the difference. So go ahead, get your pen or pencil ready with your piece of paper. And I want you to write the following sentence in print and cursive. The sentence is the vexing quick daft zebras jump, the vec singly. Quick, daft zebras chump. And once you have that sentence in print and cursive, set it aside, but have it ready to take out at the end of the course to rewrite that same sentence in print and cursive to see the difference in your handwriting. And I want you to keep in mind that when it comes to handwriting, the average letter per minute is 68 or 13 words per minute. Now, my personal preference is, I like the letters per minute statistic versus the words per minute, because every word differs in how many letters it has, right? I can write the letter and, and it might count for a word or I can write spaghetti and they can count forward. So the letters per minute, I feel in my personal opinion, is the more accurate gauge when it comes to the speed of your writing. And since this is a handwriting course, I want you to be aware of your handwriting speed before getting started, just because you should have a starting point of where your print rating is, where your cursive handwriting is, and how fast you're right. Now. You can write super fast, but it's going to be extremely sloppy. So the goal is never to try to increase your letters per minute while decreasing the quality of your writing. So get your pen or pencil and a piece of paper in front of you. And let's time you for the next two minutes. I want you to write the following paragraph. And if you are finished writing the entire paragraph, start over from the very beginning, and write as much as you can in the first two minutes. Now before getting started, let's look at the paragraph. My name is John. I am from the United States of America. I recently graduated high school and loved traveling around the world to learn about the different cultures. I currently own two dogs, one cat and three goats. I have always loved animals because they provide great companionship. So if you write this entire paragraph, restart over and start from the very beginning. My name is John for the full two minutes. If you're ready. Let's get started. Ready. Set. Go. Or pens down. Now the next thing to do is to calculate your letters per minute to see how fast you are writing and your average speed. So what I want you to do is very, very simple. The first thing is to count all of the letters that you have written in the first two minutes and write that number down, then divide that number by two, and that will equal your letters per minute. And finally, if you want to determine your words per minute, you divide your letters per minute by five. So if I wrote a 124 letters, I do not count the spaces in between the words. I'm going to divide by 124 by two equals 62 letters per minute, or 12 words per minute. Look in everything over. Where are you right now compared to the average of 68 letters per minute or 13 words per minute. This is just a quick test to gauge right now where you are at in regards to the speed of your handwriting. So now that we have a starting point that we can go back to on how your print and cursive handwriting look like the speed of your handwriting. Let's continue on to the next lecture. 5. Understanding The Essential Basics of Handwriting: Now before we jump into any exercise, the very first thing is we have to start with the basics. Knowing the basics is a must from how to hold your pen to warming up your hand. All of these are gonna be essentials that are going to prepare you for all of the exercises that are going to come next. So let me hop behind the screen and walk you through the basics to make sure you fully grasp them. And we are on the same page before jumping into our next writing exercise. Now before we jump into any form of exercises, I wanted to start with the essential and basic exercise, which is going to go through a couple of hand exercises. How to hold your pen and paper position. First, I always like to stretch my hands very, very quickly before starting writing. This isn't going to take you more than a minute. So all I'm gonna do is first just extend my fingers, clench and again clench. Then I'm going to touch each of my fingers with my thought. Then just move your hands around to work your wrist a little bit and then go the opposite way. There we go. Now let's talk about your pencil or pen position. If you're right with your right hand or left hand, the pen or pencil position is going to be the same. So first, you're gonna be using your three fingers. This is also called the tripod. You have your middle finger, your index finger, and your thumb. Your middle finger is where you're going to rest your pencil on. Your index finger is going to help you guide your pencil up or downward, and then your thumb is going to give you guidance as well. We're going to pick up our pencil, rest it on the middle finger. Right below your knuckle right here. Then your index finger goes right on top and your thumb grips it on the backend. So it looks like this. We don't want to do this. We don't want to try to do only this and have it resting way up on the second knuckle. Let it rest on your middle finger, index finger on top, thumb on the side. And now you are ready to write as far as how far to hold it up. Probably an inch to an inch and a half. We don't want to hold it way up here or way down here to where our thumb is now interfering with the tip of the pen or pencil. About an inch to an inch and a half. Same thing goes for left-handers. You're going to rest it on your middle finger, index finger on top, thumb on the side. And now you're ready to write. Now for the paper position. If you are a right-handed or you're going to take the left corner of the paper and slightly angle it towards you, but don't make it so it's right at the center. You don't want the corner centered with you. You want to just a little bit off center, Like so. Then when you're right, you hold your left hand on the edge of the paper so it doesn't slide around. And to move your paper up as needed. For left-hand writers, we're going to do the opposite. We're gonna take our right bottom corner, offer paper and angle it slightly towards you. Make sure the corner is not centered. It is a little bit off center. And your right hand is going to be on the edge of the paper. As you write. You can guide your paper up and prevent it from slipping or sliding underneath your pen. Now one more thing before we start writing the position of your paper on your desk. You don't want it to be completely centered. So if you are a left-hander, you want it over to the left. And if you write with your right hand, you're going to have it over to the right. You don't ever want it to be centered. So go ahead, position your paper, grab your pen or pencil. And let's start with our very first warm up exercise, which is going to be this worksheet. For this warm-up worksheets. I simply have created different shapes to warm up your hand. All of these shapes are going to come together in creating our different print letters and numbers. Go ahead and just practice writing each shape and line on each individual line that I have already created for you. Now as you go through this worksheet, it doesn't have to be 100% perfect. This is a warm-up worksheets. This is just a quick worksheet that you can use before starting any form of writing. And the more you do this, the better you're going to get with your straight lines and with your spacing. And remember that you do not have to rush through this. Just go at your own pace. Right now. It is bright and early in the morning, and I will never say that I have the perfect handwriting, especially this early in the morning. But I am going through my warm-up worksheet to not only wake myself up, but to prepare for the following exercises as well. Now also as you go through this worksheet, remember, don't slouch over your paper, relax your hand and sit straight up. Now with the shapes on this line. You can see that we want it to be pretty symmetrical. And a couple of mine almost have a cone-shaped where they are wider at the bottom than they are at the top. But we're aiming for pretty symmetrical half oval. Now if you want extra practice and you don't want to follow the Zn pattern. Feel free to do align with just sees. Now, owes tend to be really difficult for majority of people simply because we're trying to attain that perfect. Oh, not an oval O, but a very round symmetrical. Oh, this practice is very good for anyone who doesn't like their O's. Now this last line is probably going to be the most difficult and don't be too hard on yourself. This is your first time going through this worksheet. As you can see, my shapes are not all symmetrical by you are warming up your hand. The fact that you completed this worksheet is fantastic. Now once you're done, Let's continue on to the next exercise. 6. Uppercase Print Style Handwriting Practice: All right. So for this exercise, we're going to be zoning in and specifically focusing on the alphabet upper case letters. So go ahead, grab the appropriate worksheet for this lecture and let's start training, or I and our hands are how these letters are specifically formed. Now we're onto our upper case letters, so you should have letters, 80 ref worksheets G through M worksheet and through s worksheet and tea through See worksheet for this exercise. Now it's the same concept as the one in two strokes. As faras, you're starting from the circle and following the pattern of how to write each letter. Now you can look off your left side on how to write a letter, or you can trace this letter first following the numbers of how to properly write this letter because the numbers are on the outside. So even though you trace the left side letters to get practice so you can trace the left and the right side, it's just the right side has the numbers of how to write the specific letter. We're on the left side. It is just tracing. Starting with the circles wherever they're located is your starting point for each letter. So go ahead and complete these worksheets for letters A through Z in upper case. Now, as you go through and trace these letters whenever you have a letter that you didn't like, how we turned out, whether you went outside the dotted line or you didn't follow the exact sequence on how to write this letter, make a mental note to yourself on why it doesn't look how you want it to look. Is it due to your going too fast? Or maybe you didn't glance over on the left side of your paper to see how to write this specific letter. So make those mental notes as you go through this because Michael is to have you improved by the end of this course. And there are typically reasons on why your letter didn't turn out the way you wanted it to . So pause and think about the reason before you continue on to the next letter. Now I should go through tracing these letters. You might feel like thes air kid like exercises, but the fact is, when we get older, we tend to forget how to properly right each of these individual letters as we experiment through different letter shapes, toe where our handwriting may turn for the worse. So understanding the basics is a must if you want to improve your handwriting. 7. Writing From Circle Uppercase Practice: Now for this next exercise, we are going to be stepping it up just a notch. You should have two worksheets titled handwriting letter a through M, handwriting letter and through z. Now, these are a little bit different. We are stepping it up from no longer tracing it to now taking what we have learned and practiced and creating our own letters. Now, I still am going to give you some guidance. As you can see on these worksheets, you have the circle starting point. All you have to do is look at the reference letter, the starting point, and go ahead and create the letters. So go ahead and complete these two worksheets. And once again, make sure you do not fill out the student name or the date just yet. Now one thing I want to mention is that right now, if you are going slow and taking your time, that you are actually doing it perfectly, because you are not used to creating these specific lines for each letter. And the more practice you have, the faster you're going to get. So don't feel just because you're going really slow on these letters, that it is a bad thing because when in fact, it is actually recommended until you feel comfortable forming each of these letters. After you complete these two worksheets, you should really be zoning in on the letters that you need extra practice with. So don't hesitate to print out more of these pages and just do if you're struggling with say, Oh, just do rows of o. If you're struggling with S, o and S, and S, whatever letters you need more practice. Feel free to give yourself the extra time to really perfect those letters before continuing on to the next exercise. 8. Lowercase Print Style Handwriting Practice: How are you feeling after tackling the uppercase letters? Hopefully feeling a little bit more confident and comfortable with writing the uppercase letters. Next, we're going to be tackling the lowercase letters of the alphabet. Once again, make sure you have the printouts on hand ready to go. And let's jump right into it. Good job on completing the uppercase letters. Now it is time to tackle our lowercase letters. So you should have two pages. One page is going to be your lowercase a through and worksheets. The other worksheet issue lowercase letters, oath received, and we're doing the exact same thing. First, take a look at how to create these letters and then trace them properly on the right-hand side. If you want to trace the left-hand side letters first before completing the left side. Feel free to do so, but it is time for us to now tackle or lowercase letters a through Z. This is no different than the uppercase worksheets of where you want to start, where you see the little circle on your worksheet. Now as you go through tracing your lowercase letters, as you can see, and I really want you to pay attention to the fact that the lowercase letters are half of the actual line. So the dotted line in-between the solid lines is the 0.5. The goal is to not only be able to form these lowercase letters properly, but to remember that lowercase letters are half of the size of the uppercase letters. So majority of them are going to be saying no higher than the dotted line. Of course, if you have the extra long letters B, D, F ofs, h, k, l, and so forth. Those are going to reach the first solid line. But in general, we are trying to form consistency of our letters so they are the same size. Another thing to pay attention to is when you draw your eye and your j, they are in-between the first fall in line, in the dotted line. Go ahead, complete these two worksheets. Take a break if you want to, before continuing on to the next exercise. 9. Lowercase From Circle Handwriting Practice: For our next lowercase exercise, we just have one worksheet, a through z. So we're gonna be writing the letter once on the right-hand side of the paper. And we're doing the same thing as we did with the uppercase. We have the starting point of each letter. And now it is up to us to take a look on our left side at the guidelines and re-create the lowercase letters on the right side of our paper. Now a couple of things I wanted to mention to you is when you are writing these letters, the type of surface you write on is gonna be very important because if it is an uneven or rough surface, you're not gonna be able to form really straight lines. You might have to put your piece of paper on top of cardboard or choose a different writing surface. Then the second thing is the type of writing instrument you're using. If you're using something like my pen, my pen does not like to go to the right and it doesn't glide as smoothly. So if your letters are not coming out as you'd like them to pay attention to the surface and you're writing instrument. 10. Improving Even Letter Size Practice: now. So far we have been using the print outs or the printouts that have thes specific hand writing paper to really hone in your upper case and lower case letters. Now it is time to practice on lined pieces of paper and work not on Lee on your letters, but the proper spacing in between each of the letters. Congratulations for coming this for in the course, you have now officially graduated from handwriting paper to regular notebook paper. Now you should have to work sheets with upper case and lower case letters on plane lined paper. So it is now up to you to recreate each of these letters on their own line. Remember, upper case use bottom to top of the solid lines lower case are gonna be using for majority of the letters, the middle portion in between the two solid lines. So go ahead. Write out a three c on your lined notebook paper. Now, as you can see, when I created the lower case, I and J, I did take my dot to the top of the first line, which was my mistake. So when im rewriting my letters, I'm going to do it properly. All right, So how did you do with these two worksheets? Are you seeing some problem areas to where you need more practicing? If so, continue to practice that letter before continuing on to the next exercise and taken many breaks as you'd like. 11. Writing Numbers Practice: Now that we have completed our entire alphabet in upper and lowercase, it is time to jump into numbers, because numbers are a part of handwriting, whether it's the telephone number or the address. Having consistent legible numbers are a must when it comes to improving your handwriting. So let's get started. Just like with our other exercises. The first thing, go ahead and take a look at how the numbers one through nine are formed. And then on the right side, go ahead and trace each number. After you've done that, I have included additional numbers. Second line is tenth or 16, then 1740, then 50 through 90. Then I'm doing hundreds, 100 through 900 to get extra practice with our zeros. Now when it comes to the number five, pay extra attention to it because some people like to start with the top of the number five and go down when in fact, you should start where the circle is informed the letter five and add that horizontal tail at the very end. And another number that you should be paying special attention to is the number seven. With the number seven, a lot of people don't make the seventh slanted. They make a straight line down. That is gonna be one of the things that we're going to be retraining your hand to do is to create the number seven properly. I know for me personally, I struggle with the number eight. That is one of my numbers that I have to take some extra time to make sure I do it properly. 12. Practice Writing Common Words: now moving on to our common words. So common words are basically just the worst that are used more frequently in the English language when it comes to writing or even speaking. So with this exercise, it is safe to say that these words you are going to be writing a lot more frequently, then a lot of other words in the English language. So getting the practice now is a must. Now we're gonna be moving on to words and especially common words. So for this exercise, I have a sheet of words. The purpose of this is to first give you practice on words that you typically right more frequently than others along with were now taking what we have learned with upper case and lower case, and to now writing specific words. So left side again, this is your guide. As far as how each letter looks right here on the right side, you're gonna trace it. And then what I want you to do is to copy these words on the bottom. So you're gonna have this is your guide, which you can trace this side. You're definitely gonna be tracing, and then you're going to be writing thes five lines right below each one. So this is a combination with a guide trace and then a do it yourself without any off the circles on where you should start. So let's go ahead and tackle this exercise. And at this point, don't forget to once again write your name and date at the top. Now, remember, as you go through this exercise, don't be too hard on yourself. Don't get frustrated because even though you have already gone through how to write these lower case letters, you are now challenging yourself by forming thes lower case letters in two words. The more practice you give yourself, the better you're gonna get. So the first time around, the second time around, the third time around doing this exercise. Don't expect yourself to get this right. Don't put too much pressure on yourself just because your hand and eye coordination are still going to attempt to write the letters. How you have been writing them for the past 15 10 15 years or more. So I do not expect perfection, and I 100% I want you to print out all these exercises and go through them more than once. There isn't a magic pill that's going to improve your handwriting. It is going to be all about practice. And even if you do, just one exercise a day, that is better. The nothing and it gives you practice now, as you start writing the words on the bottom left hand side used the above letters to not only judge the spacing, but where the letters fall to see if you are smashing your letters to close together or giving your letters too much space. 13. Write Full Sentences Practice: All right, moving right along into Pangu grams, simply put, these are sentences that use majority, if not all of the letters in the alphabet to give you extra practice with each individual letter. So I have chosen my top three Pangu grams to start you off with. Go ahead, get them in front of you. Take a look and let's get started. Now we have my three n-grams that I've chosen. The Quick Brown Fox jumps over the lazy dog, which is one of the most popular pant grams juiced. For number two, I have In Jinx wizards pluck IV from the big quilt. And for number three, crazy Frederick bought many extra exquisite opal joules. For these three Pangu grams. The first thing I want you to do is to trace the pangolin and then write out the pan gram multiple times. As you can see, I have given you enough spaces to do it at least three to four times. So go ahead and get extra practice would not only your letters, but the spacing in between each letter. And as always, for extra practice, don't forget to add your name and date at the top of your worksheets. As you can see for the pant gram exercise, I did not include a guide because at this point I feel like you should know how to form each letter, but I still want to give you a guide that you can trace and glance up at to make sure your spacing is correct. Now the one thing I do want to say while going through these pangolin exercises is the only letter I am not a huge fan of is qx simply because when I created these worksheets, the queue I feel like has too much space in-between the queue and the EU. But for this exercise, just go along and have control of your spacing. And then later on, don't worry, we will definitely come back to these letters to see if you want to change anything. 14. Rewrite This Shopping List: For this exercise, I want you to print off the ShoppingList PDF, fold this list in half. So on one side is the illegible, messy shopping-list, and on the other side, the right hand side, you will be rewriting a legible shopping list. Now, after completing this exercise, I want you to pause for a moment and really analyze your print handwriting and make a mental note of where you may still need extra practice when it comes to your print handwriting. So after you have completed this list, I want you to think in terms of is your upper and lowercase letters staying consistent in size and spacing? Is there a consistent space between each of the words, meaning there isn't huge gaps between bread, milk, eggs, butter. They all have consistent spacing. And lastly, are your words run in a straight line. This is going to be the ultimate test because you no longer have the guide of a line piece of paper. I want you to challenge yourself in terms of your print handwriting and you will know if you still need practice, if there is any form of doubt or you not liking how a specific word looks like on your shopping list. Make all these mental notes and do not be afraid to reprint and redo a specific exercise if you need more practice. So go ahead complete this exercise and I will see you in the next video. 15. Moving To Cursive Handwriting Style Worksheets: welcome back to our next section on how to improve your cursive handwriting. This section is going to focus on how to form and give you hands on practice on Capitol and lower case cursive letters, along with different exercises that are really going to hone in on how to form words while making sure to keep the size and spacing of each letter consistent. So without keeping you waiting any longer, let's get started with her first exercise. 16. Cursive Uppercase Writing Letters exercise: So to get started with their cursive handwriting, we're going to start out with Curse of Capital Letters. So you should have four worksheets. We're gonna have letters A through G worksheet h through Oh, worksheet p through w worksheet and X through Z worksheet. So print amount. Get him in front of you. And let's tackle the capital Curse of letters A through Z So you should have your four worksheets in front of you. And, as always, check the surface that you're writing on. For example, my desk has lines, couple dents in it. This is not an ideal surface to practice by writing on, so I am going to be using a notebook. So get your four worksheets of your capital letters a through Z and let's get started before completing any letter again. Look where the open circle is on each letter and that is gonna be your starting point. You can go ahead and trace thes capital letters first, or just take a look at how they are created, especially look at F. We don't start from the top and then go down. We want to add the top portion last, so we're going to go down across and add the tail on top. When you're ready, go ahead and complete the A through G worksheet again. Take a look at how each letter is created before jumping over to the right side. Four R P www Worksheet. Pay attention to Q. It is not just an upper case print style. Q. It's almost like a fancy number two. And then with the tea you're not starting like you were with the F and creating the bottom and adding tale. You're starting over from the left side of the tea going over up and across and the Q. When you're doing these worksheets, we are not focused on speed. We're focused or training our hand to create all of the's different letters and our last capital worksheet. Since it was on Lee Extra See, we have two sets of them on one line and pay attention how with all of the's cursive capital letters, just like the print letters, they start from the top of the line and use the space in between the two solid lines to create each of these capital letters were focusing on training or hand. Are I working on the spacing to create each letter and improve or handwriting in the process 17. Lowercasecursiveexss: Great job on completing your capital cursive letters. Now, if you're struggling with any letter and you know, deep down, man, I'm not so good at my z's. I'm not so good at my M's. Whatever the letter or letters are, print out that worksheet and give yourself daily practice. Because what you're doing is you're building the hand-eye coordination to form a specific shape, which is a cursive letter in a specific size, spaced how you want, the more practice you get, the more control you're going to have over forming every cursive letter. Now with that being said onto our next exercise, cursive lowercase letters. So we're going to have another four worksheets. You're going to have lowercase cursive letter a through H worksheets, I through n worksheet, worksheet. And you through Z. If you feel confident in your capital cursive letters, it is time for you to get the four worksheets with the lower-case alphabet and start working on it onto our lowercase letters. Now, with all of these lowercases, They are going to have typically a tail. You can connect each of the letters and pay attention how the tail is always on the bottom. You're not gonna have the tail start halfway or at the top line? No, all the tails are on the bottom. Get your four lowercase letter worksheets in front of you. And let's get started. For lowercase I through n, there isn't anything tricky aside from maybe this k has a little bit more to it than just writing a regular print k. And when you dot the I and the j, again, it's between the solid line and the dotted line. For o through T worksheet, I would like you to pay attention to how you create your R. You come up, do a little bit of a slant, and then go back out. And then crossing the t. Once again, it's in-between the solid and the dotted line. Last but not least, Are you through C for this worksheet, focus on the x as we create the x and then cross it. But make sure when we cross our x, it's not interfering with the first tail that we created. We're not going to create the x like this. And then do that. We're not going to create the X. Then DU that focus on creating that perfect X. It's not going to be touching are interfering with the first line that you created. How are you doing so far? If there's any letter that you're struggling with that you're not comfortable with. And listen to yourself. If you know you're struggling with the letter x, give yourself a little bit more practice. For example, the first time I created this x, I went a little too fast because if you can see the X is touching my first tale that I created for the x. This one is a lot better. You have space on each of these worksheets. If you wanted to have more practice on a specific letter, don't be afraid to give yourself that extra practice. 18. Alphabet A - Z in Cursive Handwriting Exercise: So, just like in the print handwriting section, I had to print out a worksheet that had a capital and a lower case letter a through Z. We're doing the exact same thing with cursive. Now, As you go through this, I want you to really, really zone in and focus. What Capital letter has a tail that can be combined with a lower case letter and what capital letters do not have a tail. So you do have to start a lower case letter without attaching it to the capital. Let for example, pay attention to the letter D. When you create the D, you have to give some space because there is not a tale that you should be combining with a lower case letter when you're writing a capital T. So print out your curse of worksheet alphabet a three Z and let's tackle this exercise. Look through where each starts and of course, you're starting with the capital and then some of them will connect to the lower case and others. You're going to start with the tail without connecting them. Remember to take your time as you go through this. You are not trying to rush through. We are trying to get her hand used to how to create these letters. And unlike print, we are lifting or pen Ah, lot less. And when you go too fast, that is when you get sloppy with your letters and then it defeats the entire purpose of even completing these worksheets. Because right now, if you can't see how each letter is created in your mind, you should not be focused on speed. Focus on memorizing how each letter is formed and giving yourself the hand I practice to be able to form each of these letters and on to our second work she a through Z. So this worksheet is really going to hone in on what you've learned and show you where you need the extra practice. So again, our left side shows you how to create the upper and lower case letters. The right side has where to start. Each letters and see is over here, so take your time. But this is a really beneficial worksheet because we're gonna be working on spacing. You can't create your upper case a and lower case a so big that when you create your be, it's gonna be all smushed together. So let's get started again. Keep an eye on the distance. So we have our upper case. D cannot pass the lower case detail which starts right here. Okay, Completed my first line. And if you have a swell take a look at what you would do differently. I think my d can come out a little bit further, Be a little bit more round because I gave more than enough space, which is almost too much space in between the DEA's now. Another thing I want to point out as you go through this is look at the tales of F, G and J, the lower case portion of each of those letters. They are not going all the way down. Took salted line. They're at the half way point, right? So if the's had a little dotted halfway line pay attention that they're not going all the way down, so focus on the size and how for down they go. - So after completing this worksheet, look at the letters that you need more practice on. So for me, I got a really shortened up the why So it's not touching almost the other solvent mine. Same for the K. Needs to be a little bit longer and not so condensed. And same thing with the D. I could make the D a little bit bigger, more rounded, and you have all of this space that you can continue to practice on. 19. Write Your Name in Cursive Exercise: now, before completing any more exercises, it is time to now write your name in the student name section, your first and last name in cursive on all of the work sheets that you have completed so far. So all of the upper case, lower case and then the two alphabet A through C worksheets. Write your name in cursive first and last name on all of them before moving on to the next exercise. Pay attention to what letters you have to really think about creating, and those air the letters that you are going to need more practice than 20. Write Common Cursive Words Exercise: give yourself a round of applause. You have now completed the entire alphabet. We are done with that. It is time to take it to the next level. So you are going to print out your common words in cursive work shit. And we're going to go through this and start practicing actual words that you will most likely be writing a lot more than others. So if you're ready, let's jump into it. Moving on to our common words exercise. So just like interpret exercise. We now have different words that you are probably going to be writing a lot more than others. So take a look at how each one is created and connected as well as you can see on this capital, I they are not connecting it with the why. Because you start at the bottom, go over and across and that is your eye. You're not gonna be swinging over to the end. That's a no no. So again, pay attention, toe how and why The letters are not connected with the capital curse of letters and how they connect with all of the different other letters. And you can start tracing these over on this side, and then you have four individual lines where I want you to take each line and write it in cursive without any help. Because if you've gotten this far in the course, I have faith that you will complete this exercise just fine. If you need to take quick breaks in between each exercise to stretch out your hands, look around. Blink your eyes a couple times. Feel free to do so. Don't rush. Take your time. Enjoy the learning process of learning how to write in cursive again as you go through this common word worksheet. Now that you're actually writing words, pay attention to your spacing. We want to stay as consistent and even with their spacing as possible. 21. Write Sentences in Cursive: So just like with the print handwriting section, you know, we have to have some parent grams in our current subsection. So I have given you three new pen grams because it's gonna be boring. If I give you the same thing over and over and over, I need to switch it up. When he to mix it up, we need to give you practice and keep your mind engaged. So go ahead, print out your three Pang grams. And let's tackle this curse of exercise now onto the different pan Graham exercises. For these Pangu, some exercises. We're going to add RNA. Then you can trace this first if you want to help you with how to form each letter and the spacing. Then copy this two more times for pant gram, one for Pangu m2. Same thing. More times without any help, without any guidance. But feel free to trace the pan gram that's written there to give you guidance. And same thing for Pan gram 32 more times. Want you to connect the n and the t and add an apostrophe between it. You should not have the n and the t and wasn't disconnected. Now take a look over the three pant grams that you have completed. What are the words that you're struggling with? What are the letters that you're struggling with? And give yourself a little bit more practice once you have completed all three Pangu grams. Because I want you to not rush through this. I want you to feel confident by the end of this course that your print and cursive handwriting has definitely, Most definitely improve. 22. Rewrite Back To School Supply List: So if you've gotten this far in the course, I have 100% full confidence in you that you know your print and you are feeling very good about your cursive handwriting. So one of the exercises that I want you to complete now is to rewrite this back to school supplies, worksheets. So I had someone write it out in their cursive and it's not legible. People are having a hard time reading it. So I want you to rewrite from top to bottom of this worksheet starting with Back to School in cursive. And all of the ten different supplies listed on this worksheet printed out and make it legible in order to complete yet another exercise. All right, so now we have a back to school supplies list. I want you to rewrite back-to-school supplies in cursive. Then make this cursive list of supplies legible. So we have index cards, pencils, notebooks, wide out, glue stick, eraser, ballpoint pens, folders, Kleenex, and a calculator. I suggest you get a separate line piece of paper to rewrite this back to school supplies list. Now, as you're writing on your line paper, we have had all this practice with a dotted center line, which prepares you for writing on your line paper. Because your capital letters should be touching the top and bottom solid line. Your lowercase letters should not be higher than the halfway point in-between the two solid lines. Now you can rewrite this list as many times as you want to get practice. But pay attention that if you make your piece, your g's, your F two long past the solid bottom line, that it will interfere with the next word. So example, if the G is too long, the eraser is gonna be overlapping. The one thing I would do to improve this is to first pick a thinner line pen. This is a one millimeter pen. So I might go 0.5 millimeter pen. That's gonna give me thinner lines. So I can write a little bit smaller and still have everything be legible. But how do you like your cursive handwriting? Are you in love with it? Is it cool that you now have clear, concise handwriting? Look at the comparison of your handwriting to the original exercise handwriting. You have come a very, very long way when it comes to learning cursive. And I really hope that you are happy. And if you're struggling with any letter or what more exercises of a specific sort to give you more practice, just let me know. I am here for you. 23. Developing Your Handwriting Style Sources: It is time to now talk about developing your own handwriting style if you choose to do so. Since we have gone through the print, the cursive, the spacing, the slants, and really perfecting your handwriting. But now, if there are specific letters in the alphabet that you are not crazy about now is the time for you to look through and figure out if there's a different way that you want to write a specific letter, one thing that I like to do is just to simply search alphabet cursive in different languages and look at different ways to write different letters depending on the type of style that you like. And once you have found a specific letter or letters that you want to change in your cursive, in your print. Feel free to start practicing that. Now if you don't want to change a specific letter and you want to have a different handwriting style. What I suggest you do is to open up your Word or Pages document that has different fonts and type out that font in uppercase give it some space and lowercase give it some space than numbers one through nine, and then some pain grams such as when zombies arrive quickly. Facts, Judge, Pat, My girl wove six dozen jackets before she quit in whatever font that you choose. Now as you can see right here as an example, I am using the optimal font. And then instead of printing this out on a blank piece of computer paper, I am going to print this out on graph paper. Graph paper will give you the baseline and you can see where each letter falls when it comes to the specific spacing and the boxes on your graph piece of paper. So graph paper is extremely, extremely useful when it comes to practicing different fonts. And then instead of just closing this document, makes sure to save it because next time if I want a different font, all I'm gonna do is highlight it and choose a different font. And then I can start practicing a different type of font. And you can keep on doing this over and over and over until you have a font that you absolutely love and you know how to write them from memory, from your hand eye coordination practice on all of these different worksheets on graph paper. Now if you want to take it a step further, instead of just googling different fonts, what I suggest is going on Instagram. And since Instagram is a very visually focused platform, you will be able to find different fonts, different ideas for your handwriting, and you can take it a step further. You have a lot of different bullet journal ideas which you can actually make money off of as well with the ability to create different bullet journal pages. So for example, as you can see, handwriting goals has over 36 thousand posts. So of course I'm going to click on that and you can scroll through and see all of the people that have shared their handwriting pages. They're bullet journal pages to give you ideas on what you can do with your handwriting. Another one that catches my eye is hashtag handwriting practice that has 20 thousand posts. And you can scroll through here as well to see what people do to practice their handwriting. What are they using? As you can see, you have graph paper, you have blank piece of paper, you have journals, you have lined paper. There isn't a right and a wrong. It's your preference. Now is the time to find out what type of handwriting style do you want to practice? Is at one specific handwriting style? Or do you want to have five plus different handwriting styles under your belt that you can go right into depending on what someone wants you to create and of one specific posts catches your eye. Don't be afraid to click on it and see if their Instagram is focused on handwriting and it's someone you can follow. For instance, we have peachy studies that has 216 posts. And if you scroll through, you can see that this Instagram page is focused on bullet journaling and handwriting. So this might be someone that you might want to follow. Another one with 238 posts is IV studies. We scroll through, you can see that this Instagram page, you have tablet practice with your handwriting. A couple other things, food, drink related. You can see that there is notebook practice when it comes to handwriting. So if this page catches your eye and you want to follow this person, feel free to do so, to give you different ideas and keep you inspired and motivated. Because at the end of the day, the only way you can perfect your handwriting is to practice. Just because you complete this course, it does not mean that you are completely done with your handwriting. Now is the time to find out what type of handwriting do you want to have? What type of handwriting do you need practice in to get the handwriting style that you want? What Instagram pages can you follow that's going to keep you motivated and inspired to start and continue to create an income from your handwriting. So in conclusion, go ahead, look through, pick a font, print out that font on graph paper. Get the practice and start having fun with your handwriting and perfecting your handwriting to the point that you feel confident in this style of handwriting and start making an income off of it. 24.

Very easy, very simple, really cool. What you do is you fill out a template with your handwriting style. You take a picture and then you have created a font with your handwriting. So what you can do to test this out is click on the Get Started for free. Create an account and get your template to where you can fill it out with whatever handwriting style you choose. And you might have to tweak your template because you might have an OH, that's too high in the box to where when you write a sentence, it doesn't look right. So it might take a little bit of practice to get your letters where you want them when you're typing out a sentence in your handwriting. But this is a really cool website that you can play around with. Once you have a font that you like and you want to be able to use this font at anytime. And of course with the free version, you will have some limits. As you can see, you can compare and contrast. If this is something that you want to upgrade to a pro down the road, feel free to do so, but at least you'll be able to work on at least one type of font template with the free version to give it a test run and see if this is something that you want to continue doing in the future. Because this could be something that can create an extra source of income. Being able to come up with your own handwriting style that someone wants to use for their projects in a letter for invitations. And all it took was you creating a template with a unique enough handwriting that someone is willing to pay you for. 25. Write Inspirational Quotes Handwriting Practice: Welcome to this portion of the class. If you have made it this far, a big, big congratulations. Now it is time for you to continue to practice your handwriting in order to improve your print and cursive handwriting. For this portion, I am going to specifically focus on improving your handwriting in 30 days through different exercises. Because the more exercises that you do, the better your handwriting will be. And so to get started, get your paper and pen ready. You can use graph paper if you still are having trouble with your spacing. You can use Lion paper if you want to keep your letters in a straight line. Or if you're feeling extra confident, feel free to use a blank piece of paper as well. So for our first exercise, we are going to be writing five inspirational quotes. The first one is keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you. By Walt Whitman. So go ahead and write this at the top of your page and then we will move on. Next quote. Now, as you're practicing your print or cursive handwriting, these quotes can be imprint if you feel you need more practice in your print handwriting or in cursive, I'm choosing to do cursive. The most asked question is, how long do I practice handwriting for in a day? I would like at least 30 minutes a day of just handwriting practice. So you can start to become more and more comfortable day after day, week after week with your handwriting. If you are really, really busy, start with 15 minutes a day. This can be done during your lunch, first thing in the morning, or even right before bed. After you have written your five quotes for the next 15 to 30 minutes, I want you to repeat writing that quote. After taken a look at the first time you have written your inspirational quote to see what can be improved and continue improving it the next time you write it, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, use up your 15 to 30 minutes, rewriting all of these five different inspirational quotes until you are satisfied with your handwriting, right? Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts by Winston Churchill and Azure writing, you have gone through the entire class. So at this point, start to personalize your handwriting if you choose to do so. As you can see, some of my letters are not following the exact way to write a specific letter in the cursive because I would like to slightly personalize it to my liking. For our third quote, it is spread love everywhere you go. By Mother Teresa. For our fourth quote, what lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. By Ralph Waldo Emerson. For our final quote, It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light by Aristotle. So once you have your five quotes, remember, spend the next 15 to 30 minutes rewriting each quote. Taken a look at how you've written each letter and what could be improved in the next time you write it, the next time you write it, and the next time you write it until you write the last one. And are happier with the last time you wrote the quote at the bottom of your piece of paper, then the first time you wrote it, that is how you would know you are improving in your print and cursive. So go ahead, complete this exercise and I will see you in the next video. 26. Fun Facts Of This Current Month Handwriting Practice: Welcome to our next exercise. For this exercise, I want you to spend 15 to 30 minutes writing about the fun facts of this current month. So right now, as I'm recording, it is the month of November. Some fun things you can write about. Each month is the gemstone or the birth zone for a specific month, the flower of the month, the dog of the month, the scent of the month, the color for a month, and anything else that you can find. Feel free to do the same thing as we did with the first exercise. So to start out, I would write November's gemstone is Topaz. And I would rewrite this for our full 15 to 30 minutes and then I would let my other for facts such as on the next page, I'm going to write, November's dog is the Dalmatian. Next page, November's flower is the chrysanthemum. November's cent is fresh baked bread. And then on the last final page, for my fun fact number five, I'm going to write November's color is yellow slash Amber. And if I have time of my 30 minutes, I would rewrite everything that I just wrote about the fun facts of November. Rewrite each sentence in order to continue to improve my handwriting. Remember, we don't want this to be boring. We want this to be fun. And if we can make it educational in the process, why not? Just have fun? Don't get frustrated and take your time. 27. Word Starting With Each Letter Exercise: For our next handwriting exercise, I want you to write the letters a through Z in either uppercase cursive, uppercase, or lowercase cursive or lowercase print, whichever you feel you need more practice in. For me, I will be doing uppercase cursive. Once you have written your letters. Now I want you to write a word starting with each letter. So for a, I can write ace, Apple apricots. Alice, choose whatever you want and write a word for each letter. Then repeat this exercise for the next 15 to 30 minutes by rewriting your letters again and writing a new word for each one.

If you have remaining time after writing all that, feel free to rewrite it one or two more times. And remember, as you go through this, if you feel that your hand or wrist is hurting, double-check your posture, soften your grip, relax your muscles. You do not want to be tents while writing in the very beginning, this might be hard, but as you continue to practice, any hand cramps or wrist cramps should be minimal to nonexistent. 29. Writing Names Handwriting Exercise Part 1: And moving right along to our next exercise to continue to improve your print or cursive handwriting. So for this exercise, you can use any type of social media platform that you want. You could be following a celebrity, someone you admire, whether it's for their cooking skills, it's an environmentalist, it's an animal advocate. Whoever you follow, most likely they have more than a 100 followers. For this exercise, we are going to be writing last names of the followers, whether you want to use Instagram, maybe Facebook. And I am not going to be using first names. I'm going to be writing their last names more than likely. You have heard a lot of these first names. The last names are sometimes trickier and just overall more fun when it comes to writing. So let's use up our full 30 minutes for this exercise. If for some reason you do not have any social media platform, that is not a problem. I am going to be writing different last names and you can just simply follow along with me to complete this 30-minute exercise. Well, let's get started. Maloney. Wires. Okay.

Weather Forecast Handwriting Exercise: For this daily writing exercise today we are going to be focusing on writing a weather report. But before we get started, I did want to mention, as you have probably noticed in the previous exercises, I was using a different pen because I couldn't find my favorite writing pen and it was not smudge proof. So you probably saw one or two or even more times where after I wrote something, if my hand touched that word, that it caused a little bit of a smudge. So if you are wanting to know what type of pen I prefer and I absolutely love it is my Micron pens. These come in a pack. They have different size at the end and it even includes a brush which I absolutely love. They are Smudge Proof, fade proof and waterproof. So if you're interested in buying a set of these Pigma Micron pens, don't hesitate to buy him because I'm about to order another set for myself as well. So without keeping you waiting longer, Let's get started. First. Let's pull up a weather report. If you cannot pull up a weather report, you can just follow along for this exercise. And if you have extra minutes in your 15 to 30 minutes of daily writing, just rewrite everything once or twice more. So here's the weather report. Let's get started. Today. Cloudy. A 49 degrees south at ten to 15 miles per hour. And I'm just abbreviating miles per hour. Thursday may bring light rain early in the morning, then remain cloudy. With showers in the afternoon. Brain is 80% Friday, we'll be mainly cloudy. Hi, of 34. Chance of rain is 6%. Saturdays will bring intervals of clouds and sunshine. Hi, uh, 42 wins Southwest at five to ten miles per hour. And again, as you go through these exercises, experiment with the type of font you want to get comfortable with and continue to practice if you want to just do daily practice with different fonts, that is completely up to you. You are still getting the practice and on a daily basis, which is a huge accomplishment and will guarantee that you see results by the end of the month. Sunday will bring rain and snow showers in the morning. And I totally messed up my u. So let's just redo that. It will be overcast in the afternoon. Hi of 42 degrees. When West at ten to 15 miles per hour, chance of rain is 40%. All right, So if you want to continue on, go ahead, go back to the very beginning or rewrite the weather forecast a second time to practice for the full 15 to 30 minutes. 33. Magazine Handwriting Exercise: How is your handwriting coming along? If you're ready, let's move on to our next daily exercise. For this exercise, I want you to grab anything was writing on it. It could be a newsletter, a screenshot from my website, magazine, a recipe card, a shampoo bottle, anything and everything with writing that you could practice 15 to 30 minutes of writing with is the item I want you to grab. Now if you don't have an item, just like in our previous exercises, feel free to follow along. I will read out loud what I am writing. You can follow along or simply watch this exercise and do your own thing of 15 to 30 minutes of writing. Let's get started. And so I am going to be using my Libraries newsletter for the title exclamation point. Parents and caregivers play an important part in fostering a child's love of reading. Development, of literacy skills. Reading stories, singing songs, and playing together. Develop these important skills, period. Building a strong understanding about reading sets a child up for success. When kindergarten, which has lifelong positive impact, early literacy skills are crucial and a child's success as an adult.

If you want to go ahead and rewrite this or grabs something else in your house, in your office that you can copy and do a quick handwriting session for today. Go ahead and do so. I hope you have a great day and I will see you in the next exercise. 34. Happy Birthday Handwriting Exercise: Today I am going to be using my Pigma Graphic, one pen. It has a little bit of a thicker point, and we are going to be writing happy birthday on a plain white piece of paper. If you want to fold it, feel free to follow along. We're going to fold it one way and then fold it the other way. Once you've done that, now we're just going to fold it. So it looks like a card. And now you can write imprint or cursive, happy birthday, as big or as small as you want to get your handwriting practice in for today. All right, so here is my first happy birthday. We're just going to flip it open and write Happy Birthday and another type of font. Flip the paper over to another blank section, and I'm going to write Happy Birthday in lowercase cursive next. Then on my next blank page, I'm going to write Happy Birthday in all uppercase. Now, once you have used all sides of your piece of paper, feel free to continue writing happy birthday on any blank space on your piece of paper. This exercise, I want to focus on using different handwriting styles so you can go back and forth between print or cursive, different type of print lettering, different type of cursive lettering. And by using a blank piece of paper, we are now focusing on making sure our words do not slant up or slant down. They are staying in a straight line. You can give yourself some more help by taking a ruler and a pencil and drawing a very light pencil line so you can keep your words straight. So go ahead, continue with this exercise for the next 15 to 30 minutes. 35. Copying New Font Handwriting Exercise: For this exercise, we are going to be writing these Santa Fe font in uppercase and lowercase. So this is just a close-up view, a through Z of each letter to give you a preview of what we're going to be spending our time handwriting today. Now the reason for this is, first of all, this is a little bit of a different font, but I have full faith in you that your handwriting has not only improved dramatically to where you can see a difference. I have faith. You are able to look at this uppercase and lowercase Santa Fe font and create a replica of each letter. The purpose of this is to work on your hand eye coordination. When you first started out, your handwriting was very slow because you have to really focus on how to form each letter and get used to that style of writing by switching it up and practicing a completely different font will not only improve your hand-eye coordination, but your flexibility and skill to replicate the letters that you see for a specific type of font without keeping you waiting any longer. I'm going to go ahead and get started on the uppercase a and lowercase a. Now, as you do this practice exercise, look at each letter and try to envision the easiest way to write this specific letter. You do not have to write it in one fluid motion without taking your pen off the paper. What is the easiest way to write the uppercase and lowercase letter that is the most comfortable to you. This is going to be part of this exercise to figure out how to replicate each letter in the smoothest and most comfortable way. Now, as I get to the letter M and then move down to n, I realized that there is a specific way to make the uppercase M and the letter n. So I am simply just doing a little bit of extra practice. On these two letters, before continuing on to the bottom of the page to the letter Z. There isn't any order that I'm choosing to write these letters. I am doing letters a through Z, so top to bottom, and then going back to letter a. But if you choose to write the uppercase and lowercase letters across the page five times before moving on to letter B, writing that five times across the page, moving to letter C, You can do that as well. So go ahead and complete this worksheet for your writing exercise of the day. Hello, linear movement. Hi. Hi. Hi. All right. 36. Handwriting Class Outro Conclusion: welcome to the end of this course.
