wow that just shows how important it is to learn how to hold a pencil correctly, that was interesting. I have read somewhere that one more method is to place the pencil with the writing end toward you on a table , pinch it at the point you want to hold it, (I suppose we could mark this point for the kids ) and then just flip it back upright. the middle finger falls in place. I havent tried it yet on my child but I tried it myself, seems like it should work!
hey sansio -
Yes, my parent educator recently told me about the method you described - I have been trying it with my daughter (who had developed a funky pencil grasp) and it is working pretty well! Thanks for sharing.
