Students complete nine sentences about the four legibility factors — slant angle, baseline alignment, and the tripod grip. The matching activity pairs consistent slant, uniform letter size, proper spacing, and baseline alignment with their specific legibility descriptions.
Matching legibility factors to precise definitions gives students a self-assessment vocabulary they can apply to identify and fix weaknesses in their own handwriting.

Cursive Writing
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A consistent slant of about five to fifteen degrees to the right helps cursive writing look neat and uniform.
2. Letters that sit evenly on the writing line have proper baseline alignment.
3. The tripod grip uses the thumb, index finger, and middle finger to hold the pencil.
4. Tall cursive letters like b, d, and h should reach the top line above the midline.
5. Short cursive letters like a, c, and e should reach only to the midline of the writing space.
6. When all letters lean the same direction at the same angle, the writing has a consistent slant.
7. Adequate spacing between letters within a word keeps cursive readable without looking cramped.
8. Letters that float above or dip below the line show poor baseline control.
9. Uniform letter size means that all short letters are the same height and all tall letters match each other.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Consistent slant
→ All letters lean in the same direction at the same angle
All short letters reach the midline and all tall letters reach the top line
Uniform letter size
→ All short letters reach the midline and all tall letters reach the top line
Every letter sits on the writing line without floating or dipping
Proper spacing
→ Words have finger-width gaps and letters are not cramped together
Words have finger-width gaps and letters are not cramped together
Baseline alignment
→ Every letter sits on the writing line without floating or dipping
All letters lean in the same direction at the same angle
