1. Simplicity is the key to good handwriting. Try your level best to write without cancellations and overwriting. If at all you have to cancel, do so with a single neat line which should be of the same shade as the other alphabets. Please do not darken this line and highlight your mistakes.
2. Write all the alphabets on the line.
3. Maintain the same size of all the alphabets and give it a round finish.
4. Do not mix up the slants. You cannot write some alphabets straight and others with a slant. Either you write all alphabets straight or all alphabets with a slant.
5. Give ample spacing between words.
6. Give two finger spacing when you start a paragraph and from the next line onwards stick to the margin.
7. Finally for English handwriting to look beautiful you have to keep three things in mind. Top, Middle and Lower points. All alphabets with stem like b,d,f,h,k,l,t have to be of the same height and will come in the top slot. You cannot write your b of one height and your h of a smaller height. If h is of a smaller height it will look like n. The meaning of words will change Eg; ‘hot’ could become ‘not’. Alphabets like a,c,e etc will come in the middle slot and should be of the same size. Alphabets like g,j,p,q,y will come in the lower slot and should be of the same length. You cannot write y of one length and g of another length.
