Reddit reviews Improve Your Handwriting (Teach Yourself)

Some examples:
Molotow Masterpiece
Krink

Something like this kit would be good starting out.

Once thing worth noting is that you should practice your handwriting in general before going outside. I mean practicing every letter of the alphabet. So that each letter is consistent every time. Trying to make it look almost like a typeface.

Here’s some other resources:

Lots of practice. Taking classes that required lots of handwritten notes helped me keep it up, practicing writing passages from various books is what I do now to keep improving it.

This book is also pretty good if you were never taught properly in the first place:

Good handwriting is consistent handwriting. This means:

• Basic letter shapes are consistent
  
• Relative sizing of letters is consistent
  
• Slant of letters is consistent
  
• Spacing between letters is consistent
  
  There are small issues with each of these things in your handwriting. The good news is this can all be improved with practice.
  
  I found this book helpful.

1. In America, Wal-Mart and Target do carry handwriting books. Look in school supply sections in the K-5 area.
   
   
2. In America at least, there is probably a teacher supply store somewhere in your town. I've lived in about six states and always knew where one was. Gets you in good with the kids' teachers if you can donate a few supplies so they don't have to buy them. Also nice to have some of those things for decorating a nightstand/desk and one side of your kid's room, to designate it as a study area. To wrap up, you can find that stuff there, along with a lot of "niche" products you might like even as an adult. (Also, a campus bookstore at a nearby college, although unlikely to have penmanship materials beyond some fancy pens, will have some fairly odd supplies for art classes and such...things you might not find in Wal-Mart.)
   
   
   
3. Amazon. Here, or here. Or just search "handwriting" in the Books category.
   
   
4. Last but cheapest... Do you have a printer? How about handwritingworksheets.com? Or just Google image search "handwriting sheets," size your favorite result appropriately, and print... Here are the results for that search, by the way. I've had poor luck with using Google links in the past, so apologies if the link doesn't work.
   
   Best of luck, and don't forget that there are always resources available somewhere, if you really want to improve yourself.

   Edit: Checked your history out of curiosity, and I see you're in Australia. No idea if #1 or #2 apply to you then, but #3 and #4 should work!

Check out this book! Improve Your Handwriting (Teach Yourself) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1444103792/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_TOVHwbCCHKDVQ

We see Lamys around here often, great pens. I have several. Handwriting takes practice and if you want to progress quickly, get a book. This is the one I have, there are many others.

You could check out this book:

I also found that using a fountain pen improved my handwriting. When you have a quality instrument to write with you're more careful about your writing. The LAMY Safari is inexpensive but a terrific pen to start with.

Don't give up hope! Have you ever tried books geared toward improving handwriting?

That's actually quite nice to hear, my family have been awful about it and I think it's kinda made me a bit overly worried about it.


Basically everything that is in this book.

I have noticed that when I'm writing slowly on things like christmas cards my handwriting does improve, I might try to do this with note-taking and hopefully start to see some actual improvement.

I've picked up some good tips from this book (Improve Your Handwriting by Sassoon & Briem). Got me to think differently about the shapes of letters and how they join (or not), and what I want out of my handwriting.

You can see over here on Fountain Pen Network how the exercises are set up in Fred Eager's The Italic
Way to Beautiful Handwriting: Cursive & Calligraphic. It's the book I've had for a few years that I've been very slowly practicing through. I don't care much for classic cursive, but found Italic from this book, Getty & Dubay, or Rosemary Sassoon have been helpful for some improvement.

In Sassoon's book, Improve Your Handwriting, she'll guide you through some things and you can see samples of improvement after just a few hours of practice. This book is worth checking out from the library. There should be some free resources on the Getty-Dubay website, including an exemplar you can copy over with tracing paper. You can also see samples of improved writing.

Good luck with your journey in improving your hand! Just 10-15 minutes practice a day will help you significantly :)

I kept looking for something on ABE or amazon.ca. Try the "penmanship" keyword. Rosemary Sassoon's Improve Your Handwriting seems to be a reasonably-priced, modern, and aimed at an adult.
