Another way of moderately improving handwriting is to fatten the barrel o=
f
the pencil or pen.

One way to accomplish this:
Go to the hardware store and purchase a length of foam pipe insulation -
buy the smallest diameter size (about $2.).  This is  a tube made out of
foam used for insulating pipe.  Cut a pencil length section out of it and=

split it length wise.  Make a second lengthwise cut taking out a lengthwi=
se
section to make the center hole small enuough to fit around a pencil when=

the tube is squeezed back together.  Wrap the tube around the pencil and
secure the tube with electrical tape at each end.  This should assist
writing significantly and the tube can be slid off and reused.
