THE RIGHT WAY TO HOLD A PEN

THE RIGHT WAY TO HOLD A PEN

There is an optimal writing posture, but there is not the "one" correct writing posture. Many variations are possible. It is important that the beginner learns to write economically, easily and fluently with a relaxed pen hold from the start. Therefore, it is appropriate even at kindergarten age to teach children the three-point grip so that they can learn this pen hold for themselves. The thumb and forefinger grip the pen, which is placed on the front part of the middle finger. The thumb and forefinger guide the pen.
