How to improve hand writing or re teach hand writing?

• Im am now in the 11th grade and strugled with bad writing all my life. No one can read it and it even hard for me to read it at some times. Also my friend made the comment that chickens write better than me. I am tired of writing it in class and then going home to type it. I was wondering if anyone could help me thanks.

• Answer:

  Ask yourself several questions ... 1) Why is my writing bad? 2) Are there certain letters that makes my writing difficult to read? 3) Is typing what I write in class really helping me or making me feel better? One comment that may (or may not) be useful ... My first name is John. When I was about six years old, I was upset that signing my first name was taking me so long. Beginning with a capital J was taking me so long. ("How can I go faster?") I practiced a capital J about five minutes and found one method that was pretty fast. Maybe you would be able to practice each of the twenty-six letters in both small and capital form for awhile and that would help you in writing better (and not needing to type anymore). In addition, when it comes to taking notes, I often wrote down only enough words to remind myself of the material. Four clear words can be much easier to understand than seven unclear words.
