In the present age, children find it very difficult to improve Urdu calligraphy, because they have no measure to improve calligraphy in Urdu alphabets by writing on the page or takhti (a wooden board). The purpose of the present study was to provide a measure to help students improve their calligraphy in Urdu alphabets. To achieve this target, an experimental research was conducted in a private school. Twenty two children were selected who could write Urdu alphabets a little bit. They were pre-tested.
