Why do Lefthanders hold the paper differently when writing?
Lefthanders turn the paper in order to more completely mimic the right hand style. Included in this method is using the twisted hand over the top of the line of writing method adopted by some left handers. With the advent of the biro some left handers push the nib in front of the hand movement. Others hold their arm at right angles to the line of writing and so don’t cover up the writing or twist the arm over the top. Various forms of positioning the writing pad at right angles to the line of the desk or inclined at 60% are also used. Young left-handers should be encouraged to try all these styles to find the best fit for themselves.
