    The document provides instructions for measuring the slant of handwriting. It explains that slant is determined by the angle between a letter's downstroke and the baseline. Letters in the upper and middle zones should be measured. A slant graph should be placed over the sample, keeping the baselines parallel, and the angle that best matches the sample's slant should be identified by noting the corresponding number.

    HOW T MEASURE SLANT O


    The slant of a writing refers to the direction of letter slope and is determined by the angle formed between the downstroke and the baseline. Measure upper and middle zone letters to determine slant. Whenever possible, use stick figures, as they are less confusing than loops. With loopy writing, take an average of the loop by measuring from the apex at the highest point of the letter to where the lines cross near the baseline. Downstrokes will give you a more accurate measurement than upstrokes.

    Place the slant graph over or near the writing sample you wish to measure. Locate the angle of slant that most closely approximates that of the sample. Remember to keep the baseline of the graph parallel to and on top of the baseline of the sample. The point of the arrow should be on the baseline at the base of the letter you wish to measure. Measure several upper and middle zone letters, note the corresponding numbers, and then check your measurement on the expanded graph.
