Demonstrate invisible or very light writing. Use red or black pencils to make red/pink or black/gray marks. Pressing too hard - Actively demonstrate soft pressure.There is a commercial version available or you may make your own with ponytail holders. One loop is on the wrist, and the other is looped over the pencil to pull the eraser/pencil back. Pencil pointing straight up in the air - Try two rubber bands looped together.Just sharpen the pencil and use pruning shears to cut it short. Consider giving the child an extremely short pencil.

It’s best not to use pencil grips in Kindergarten as children are just learning correct grip and just starting to write. Use physical devices only if demonstration and practice haven’t worked.Īlways demonstrate proper finger position for children (especially young children). Try to change grip if it hurts to write, or if the grip makes writing inefficient. The older the child, the harder it is to change the pencil grip. Grip becomes automatic or habitual with repetition. Teach grip as soon as age 4 or whenever crayons are introduced. Good crayon and pencil grips should be actively and regularly taught.

Some children like to pinch with the thumb and pointer. What is the correct grip? Here’s a picture. It is where the pencil should rest during writing.
