Works well for elementary school fingers. Lightweight, easy to use to properly position fingers for proper pencil grip. Fits just about any standard pencil easily. The "baskets" are oriented to the front of the pencil when used. During covid, students weren't in class to be taught the proper way to hold a pencil for efficient, controlled writing. As a consequence, I see the many creative and various tortured ways students are unsuccessfully trying to hold a pencil. For them, writing is a hated, incredibly inefficient, laborious task! Without being taught how to properly hold a pencil (and form the letters and numbers correctly, but don't get me started on that!), I absolutely cannot imagine how these 3rd grade students will make it through the coming years where filling out longer and more detailed answers on worksheets will be just a matter of fact. Not everything will be done on a computer so learning to properly hold a pencil and write is essential.PARENTS: take a minute to observe your elementary students to see how they hold the pencil and how they form their letters and numbers today! If you're as tortured watching your student struggle as I am, then GET THESE GRIPS and HELP THEM while there's still time to correct their grip for more efficient writing. Easy for the student to use and with enough practice, these grips will build the muscle memory quickly to the point where these grips will have served their purpose. There are many grip assistance devices out there, and if your child doesn't gravitate to this particular style, then look for one they do like.
