How can i write faster?

I am going into middle school in 2 weeks. I need to know how to write faster so I can take notes easily. I’m not a very fast writer, and if I write fast, I won’t be able to read my notes later. How can I write fast, and still take neat notes?

Just practice. Don’t use cursive. I thought cursive would be easier cuz you don’t have to lift your pencil up, but it was actually harder and longer since it’s so fancy. If you’re teacher’s going to fast when you’re supposed to take notes, just ask him/her to slow down. Trust me, other kids have this same problem. Hope this helps! Good luck with middle school!!!

practice writing quicker at home… or come up with shortcuts of some words, and use them instead while taking notes at school. But really I don’t think you have to worry about it too much, teachers usually wait till everyone is done writing to put up new notes, and you can always ask the teacher to go a little bit slower or repeat things you didn’t have time to write down. Good Luck.

Paraphrase. It’s the best thing that happened to some people. Just make small notes on what you think is important that the teacher is saying or writing. Take notes on the big idea, not every single word that is written or read.

Don’t write down everything the teacher says, but only the most important things. Also, your notes don’t have to be neat, just legible.

You can use a recorder beside your notes, I found it really helpful .You can try to practice or you will just master the skill with the time.
