When I was eight, I was the last student in my class to have good handwriting. I would have loved all the pencil grips that you showed in your book. Another tip that I completely agree with is heaving a soft pencil. -- Temple Grandin, Author Thinking in Pictures, The Autistic BrainKnow any kids struggling with writing?

You'll learn something, too!! -- Beverly H. Moskowitz, DOT MS OTR/L FAOTAThe real value of the book is its uncomplicatedness and relevance to the world, in which children hold tablets as often as pencils.
