Apply Yourself! How to Fill Out Forms (continued)
Topics: Middle School, Writing
Address
If he hasn’t already memorized his address, now is the time to do it. Teach him how to write it properly.
Line one is the street number, street name (capitalized), and the proper abbreviation: St., Dr., Rd., Blvd. Line two is the city (capitalized), a comma, the two-letter state code (both letters capitalized) and the zip code. For example:
25 Larkin St.
San Francisco, CA 94123
Signature
Finally, most applications require a signature. Show him your signature and samples of others so that he gets an idea of what a signature should look like. His name simply written in cursive is good, although he can get a little creative if he likes. Now’s the time to think outside the box!
