  • The Start Right Grip

    The Start Right grip is nice because it is very easy to orient. It helps promote the “pinch” between thumb and forefinger, but is not as good for those kids using their middle fingers as well as the index to stabilize the pencil. (If you want to facilitate the middle finger to be underneath the pencil, see the Grotto grip above). This one not currently available on Amazon.com

  • The Grotto Pencil Grip

    The Grotto pencil grip is my personal favorite grip. It is especially useful for helping children “pinch” the pencil between their thumb and index finger (rather than wrap their thumb around the top of the pencil). It also has a notch underneath to support the middle finger, especially helpful for children who tend to stabilize the pencil with both index and middle fingers.
