What are the basic determinants of a person’s fluency in a language? Many times, I come across this query. Some people opine that a good orator is a language specialist, the others say that one who writes logically and beautifully is the linguist expert. Perhaps, this is why speech and handwriting practice forms an essential part of the curriculum right from the early education stage. Considerable emphasis is laid on practice with handwriting worksheets so that a person never finds difficulty in expressing thoughts through writing.
Actually, language fluency is a collective outcome of reading, writing, listening, and communicating skills. In the present world of computers and keyboards, handwriting is pushed far behind other language skills. However, if you look closely, writing with hands-on a paper sheet, is not just a form of expression. In fact, it is an activity that offers multiple benefits, such as:
It is learned that the children born with reading and writing difficulties show these shortcomings even when they grow up. Their learning requirements do not disappear with age. Thus, adults who were diagnosed with these difficulties need practice in writing. This is why; I dedicate this effort of mine to people who need the practice material to enhance their writing skills.

Second, the writing difficulty is of neurobiological origin. Thus, the idea behind making these practice sheets is to utilize the neuroplasticity characteristic of the brain and cultivate handwriting skill by stimulating the mind. Apart from stimulating the mind, the other benefits of handwriting practice sheets are:
Since the purpose is to drive the adults into practice handwriting, therefore, leave the judge in you out of the room, first of all. If you are guiding an adult on practicing handwriting, be very appreciative of each effort made. Also, set the reward for every achievement.

In case you are a self-learner, set personal targets but adopt a relaxed yet disciplined approach towards the handwriting practice session. Start slow, stay steady, keep improving, assess progress; but, most importantly, never give up!
