4.0 out of 5 starsWhy the Crossover?
By Noname TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 30, 2010
Size: 6-ctColor: Metallic Verified Purchase
I bought both The Pencil Grip and The Pencil Grip Crossover for my daughter. She actually holds her pencil correctly, but her grip is so tight that she hurts her finger. These grips open up her hand. They are fatter and cushier than other pencils grips I've seen. My daughter says they make it more comfortable for her to hold her pencil.

The difference between The Pencil Grip and The Pencil Grip Crossover is that The Pencil Grip Crossover has wings, which help prevent students from wrapping their thumb around the pencil.

The grips are easy to slip on the pencils and use. The only problem I had with it were the instructions, which had an illustration of the standard Pencil Grip. They instruct us to place the large end facing down, but it's hard to tell which is the large end, the bulbous end or the end with the wings? I had to go online to see how to use The Pencil Grip Crossover.

Basically, place the pencil in a vertical position with the eraser resting on the desk. Slide The Pencil Grip on with the stamped words "The Pencil Grip" facing down. If the child is right-handed, his thumb goes on the "R" and his index finger on the "L." Vice versa for left-handed children.

It's not easy adjusting children's pencil grasp. They like to hold it the way it works for them. This pencil grip helps adjust hand position without the constant need for verbal correction and the kids seem to like it. Even my son is using it, and I never asked him to.

3.0 out of 5 starsgood but could be better
By momof4 on February 2, 2011
Size: 6-ctColor: Metallic Verified Purchase
Pros: Very good for proper finger placement. My children have a hard time holding the pencil correctly. That was one thing I found out when I started homeschooling them was that they didn't know how to hold it right. When they were in public I focused on helping with homework, not holding a pencil. But I digress... This is great for proper placement & doesn't slide around on the pencil. Once it's on, it's not going anywhere very easily.

Cons: It's very hard to get off the pencil. The material itself is flexible and doesn't slide on the pencil but that makes it difficult when you need to move it to sharpen the pencil.

The material isn't indestructible. There are a few tears on the back of a few from getting it on & off the pencil for sharpening.

It makes your fingers sweaty after writing for a few minutes. After one math lesson, fingers have to be wiped.

Overall this is great for finger placement - which really that's what they're for - but the material itself leaves a bit to be desired.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for adults too!!
By megan on February 14, 2012
Size: 6-ctColor: Metallic Verified Purchase
I am in medical school and can spend over ten hours a day writing. My hands cramp up from holding the pens too tightly and it makes it difficult to get as much done as I need to. So far I have had these for three days and my hands feel great! Yes they are hard to get on and off, but that is the point, if they were easy to get on and off they would slide off the pen or pencil. I use pens(I like the sharpie pens since they require very little pressure for a clear solid line), so I have to slide them back whenever I want to cap the pen, but they still stay put where ever I put them. Amazing, and have made my life so much better.

5.0 out of 5 starsthe best grips
By Liz TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on June 29, 2010
Size: 6-ctColor: Metallic Verified Purchase
We first used these when our daughter's preschool teacher gave her one to help correct her grip. She has had issues with griping pencils with her entire fist which makes her handwriting messy and tiring. These help so much! They also seem to work as a 'trainer', meaning she will use one while writing for several minutes then take it off and continue to hold the pencil correctly. The first one we had didn't last long when the dogs got at it. They are soft and colorful which seems to make them yummy looking to pets. After the first one was chewed up we went to the store to try and replace it only to find every other type of grip except this one. We bought several others which didn't help at all before buying these here. The only other sites we could find them on were school supply shops that only sold packs of a dozen or more, charged more than amazon (on a price-per-each comparison), and wanted nearly the same cost as the grips in shipping. I was so happy to find these here with free shipping. Having these grips has allowed me, as a now homeschooling parent, to use less expensive pencils rather than continue to purchase the triangular shaped pencils we were buying at $3 per 8-pack. At first I was disappointed that they weren't sold individually but now I like having all six; there are more if one gets lost, more for siblings to use, a variety of colors, and enough to put on several sharpened pencils to have on hand to avoid removing the grip to sharpen the pencil in the middle of a lesson.

5.0 out of 5 starsSaving students writing.
By Jeanette Albright on February 3, 2010
Size: 12-ctColor: Metallic Verified Purchase
I am a teacher of 36 years experience and I'm seeing more and more students who do not hold their pencil correctly. It makes messy writing and discomfort of the students hands. I'm seeing the disappearance of TEACHING students to write because the handwriting is done in centers and not with the teacher to moniter their progress. The small students are left to figure it out for themselves. These grips are great because you can't hold the pencil wrong with them. THANK YOU--who ever invented these.
