Welcome to the second in my summer series of video blog posts! In this video I share important do’s and don’ts for teaching handwriting to young learners.
Watch the video to learn:
- how to get kids ready for handwriting (before worksheets!)
- which letters to begin with
- how to correct a poor pencil grasp
- how to help left-handed writers
…. and more!
Links I refer to in the video:

- Ebook: Basics of Fine Motor Skills
- My favorite pencil grip
- Handwriting pages for left-handed writers

Thank you for your presentation on hand writing. I agree with teaching the fine motor skills first, which I have done several times with students at various ages. As a tutor and a soon to be second grade teacher, your lessons and video presentations are very helpful!!

Hi,
Are the pencil grips you recommend here suitable for younger hands? I have a kid with fine motor issues.
Anna G says
I would email Colleen at OT Toolbox or Heather at Growing Hands on Kids. They have more experience as occupational therapists and could give you a stronger recommendation. 🙂
Kay says
Thank you so much. You are really a blessing!!!
