A teacher who has taught handwriting for many years gave these suggestions to help children improve their writing skills!
First, maintain a good sitting posture before writing.
Standard sitting posture is a prerequisite for good handwriting. You can first ask the child to sit upright, put the notebook upright, and prepare the books and pens used when writing. You can ask your child to sit quietly for a minute to calm down. The ancients said: If the words are not correct, the heart will be sick first! In life, children can be guided to have a respectful heart for books and words. It was not easy for the ancients to preserve the words. When there was no paper in the past, the ancients would carve the words on stones and bamboo slips. Only then can we preserve those classics.
Every point of respect is worth a point of benefit. If a child really develops respect for words and books, he will naturally take writing seriously.
Second, you can practice calligraphy with your children for ten minutes every day.
When you first let your children practice writing, it doesn’t take too long. You can start with the most basic strokes every time, use a grid notebook, and write according to the copybook, as long as the child can complete it. Before writing, you can guide your children to carefully observe the words to be written, where to start writing in the grid, and where to close the writing in the grid. This can not only practice the child's observation ability, but also improve the child's ability to write and observe during the process of writing and observing. You will be more patient, and after writing for a long time, the words will naturally look better!
Third, encourage children to make progress every time!
Every time, after the child finishes practicing, let him observe by himself which word is written best and what areas need to be corrected. Let the child complete this summary by himself. When the child discovers that every time With practice, your handwriting will improve, which will improve your child's self-confidence and make them more willing to write beautiful words!
What parents have to do is encourage! When you praise your children, you must praise them in detail. For example: Mom thinks you wrote very seriously today, and your horizontal writing is much better than last time! Parents’ encouragement will become a powerful motivation for children to continue working hard! Children will be more willing to keep the good habit of writing a few words every day!
Fourth, altruistic thinking.
We must guide children to change their way of thinking and make them feel that writing well is really important. Only by being willing to do this can they maintain this good habit!
Guide the children to take a look at two homework books with different handwriting, one with neat handwriting and one with ugly handwriting. Let the children see it from the teacher's perspective. Which test paper do you like to mark? The child chooses neat and neat handwriting. When reading the paper, let’s talk to the child about a child who was originally asked to take a plenary exam question but got a low score because his handwriting was not good-looking!
When children understand how the teacher feels when they see homework with uneven handwriting, and can feel the teacher's mood, they will understand why they should write neatly, and they will be more willing to write well.
In short, guide children to have a respectful heart, understand it from the perspective of a teacher, and encourage children's progress every day, and children will definitely take the initiative to write neatly!
