There are 4 Ps to remember when writing:
- posture
- pencil grip
- paper position
- pressure
Posture: You need to make sure you sit up straight and have 6 legs (4 of from the chair and your 2) on the floor at all times. Your chair should be tucked under the table.
Pencil grip: You should have a tri-pod grip.
Paper position: The paper needs to be slighted tilted towards the hand you write with. Your other hand should hold on to the paper too.
Pressure: You need to have a sharp pencil – it really does make all the difference!
Help at home: Read our handwriting guide. Each day, practise the letters in order.
