This type of grip is easy to use and helps train the hand to hold the pencil properly. Right-handed writers point the arrow on the grip toward the pencil tip and place the thumb on the star. Left-handed writers point the arrow on the grip toward the tip and place the forefinger on the “star.” The index and middle fingers fit comfortably along the molded groove. A proper grip improves handwriting while reducing muscle discomfort and fatigue.
