This makes sense because writing is all about fine motor control, and these drills train your hand to automatically make some of the most common letter shapes. They also help you control the slant and size if your letters by drilling you to write things uniformly. Fix it Write is different from Teach Yourself Better Handwriting in that it instructs you to copy a line or two of one of the drills virtually every day, and it sometimes tells you to write a line with your eyes closed just to feel the motion. Exercises to Improve Handwriting as an Adult Write Now teaches you how to develop your own, legible, italic handwriting that, according to the authors, helps you make a powerful, lasting (and positive!) impression with your handwriting.

It mostly focuses on handwriting drills and fixes to problems, but I wanted more on how to actually form the letters and create a handwriting font, as it were, that was easier to read. The last handwriting practice I really enjoy (and that helps with the up and down motion) is to write “llullu,” as shown below.

Hence, it's a must to get young children into the habit as soon as they can hold a pen. New updates for 2020! This post with adults handwriting exercises used to be primarily a review of Fix it Write. I feel like girls are societally expected to have nice handwriting.
