handers often look awkward when they write. How can this be avoided?
The key to a good writing style for left-handers is correct hand positioning and posture. This is an important topic in its own right, and we cannot cover it properly here, but the video and books mentioned below are an excellent resource for nursery and early years teachers, as well as adults wanting to improve their writing style. Large, triangular pencils or pencil grips are useful to encourage a good “tripod” three finger grip. Because left-handers have to push the pencil, they often grip too tightly and need to learn to bring the hand under the writing line, with the paper slightly to the left of their body so they draw the pencil towards them. Any corrections to positioning or posture must always be undertaken very gently and without chastisement, as the child will pick up on any negative comments, and may be put off writing from a very early age. It is vital that they are encouraged to enjoy penmanship and see it as an outlet for their creativity. The Left-Handers Club Handwriti
