Lots of practical tips to help kids have better writing skillsWhen 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 Brain
