the correct pencil grip

The ergonomic Pencil Grip is designed for the right or left hand, and is soft and flexible so that the pencil hole can stretch to accommodate varying widths of pens, pencils, crayons or tools. We prefer using the soft-lead pencil with the Pencil Grip. Each of our packets of grips include illustrated instructions to help you encourage the use of the correct grip

" . . . my children really got the hang of the pencil grips quickly. My daughter held the pencil like a club and this really helped!"
—Max

The Pencil Grip has a large area at the top of the grip. Prior to the creation of the gripper, therapists commonly gave their students a pencil with a small gripper and a wadded paper towel above the gripper. The towel was added to support the index finger -- helpful for children who hyper-extend the finger at the first knuckle. The educational therapist who designed The Pencil Grip decided it was time to do away with the paper towel.
