When working with a child who has an inefficient pencil grasp, I will ALWAYS try to encourage a dynamic tripod grasp by other means first. Read about "pencil grasps" in my very first blog. A pencil grip is a small foam, silicon or moulded plastic attachment to a pencil to help a child (or adult) to have a functional grasp of the pencil. There are several on the market and one size does NOT fit all. Why We Like It: As kids learn correct grip, they can switch to an aid like this one. It reinforces the proper grip but offers a little more freedom. The right ergonomic pencil will make your writing experience easier and more comfortable. Find what works best for you, and accompany your great new pencil with stretching and rest breaks for the best results. Pencil NameReal Review: “My Kindergartner had a weird thumb wrap in her pencil grasp. She knew what a proper finger placement looked like, and could show me, but her “go to” was the weird grasp that she had developed. Just a few months of using these pencil grips, and the weird thumb thing has almost entirely gone away.” Real Review: “I absolutely love this product! My child has Autism and really struggles with his fine motor skills. This product has worked wonders in helping him hold his pencil properly and I couldn’t be more excited about how much he’s improved since he started using this!”

I have to start this post by saying that I try my best not to recommend pencil grips. It may be very "un-OT" of me to say this out aloud but there it is.Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Why We Like It: Fingers can help kids remember proper spacing… two fingers for larger writing, one for smaller. This set of translucent guides is easy to slide along as you write, keeping spacing consistent. Why We Like It: Some kids may be reluctant to use pencil grips because they don’t want to look different from other kids. This cute style feels more like a reward instead. Slide the wider end of the grip on first. Righties and Lefties simply place their thumb on the “R” or the “L” printed on the grip. Fingers will naturally fall into place with the middle finger on the underside of the grip. The images on the left show proper positioning. Real Review: “I bought these to help a couple of my kindergarten students to remember spaces between their words. It is very helpful to them for that as well as keeping them on the lines! I love them and would get them again!”
