Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them？ Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？ But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend！ Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡)． Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A. Play games.
B. Ask for more advice.
C. You've been writing since you were a little kid.
D. So "a" should be half the height of a capital "A".
E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

If you want to have a garden full of life and motion, you have to attract some wildlife.

Plants like roses, honeysuckle and lavender attract different insects like bees and butterflies. Hummingbirds are fans of fuchsia and geraniums. Trees and shrubs that produce fruit, berries and seed are good sources of food for your little friends.
Provide some shelters for wildlife. You need to plant evergreen plants, too, because they are a suitable place for wildlife to take shelter.
