Holding pencils correctly is so important when children are learning to write. Research has shown that the proper pencil grip is important for reasons such as comfort, ease of handling, and easy to read handwriting. Yet, so many children {and adults} have improper pencil grip! But there is a way to help everyone out!
The Pencil Grip Company contacted me recently to review their pencil grip system. In exchange for my honest review, they sent me a sample of their system to try out. In the system, there are three different grips to help children ease into the correct pencil grip.
Since my daughter already has good pencil grip, she really didn't like using it, but I can definitely see where this grip system would help children with poor pencil grip use pencils correctly. It truly is as easy as 1-2-3!
