Tools - pencil grips



Rubber pencil grips

 This grip is hard to get a good picture of. I bought this because she has a problem holding her pencil incorrectly. She holds the pencil loosely and has little control of the point. It added to her poor handwriting and letter spacing. We have been struggling with this since Kindergarten. I have tried the triangle pencils, bigger pencils and different grips. After she had been writing while holding the pencil  correctly she would complain about her hand hurting.
The owner of the teacher store suggested this one. It is a mushy type of rubber and is a little flexible. You basically put your fingers in the "pockets" like you are pinching it. The thumb and pointer finger are tucked in the "pocket" and have nowhere else to go. The back side is a comfortable place for the middle finger to rest flat on. Her handwriting has improved and she said it makes it easier & is comfortable to use...yeah!
