Proper Pencil Grip

Is your child holding writing utensils with an awkward grip? I was introduced to a product called the grotto grip this year and I am a huge fan. The grotto grip is real easy to use and children who are right handed or left handed can use it. Put the grip on a pencil and help the child position their fingers using a tripod grasp. There are indents where the fingers should go on the grip. Place a small item in their palm if they are having difficulty closing their pinkie and ring finger to their hand. I have noticed that students who use this accommodation in my class get acclimated to using a proper grasp which helps their writing ability.
