Watch together and try the hand position as you go.
Why the Video Works
By connecting the fingers to a familiar image—a bird’s beak—children quickly understand how their fingers are meant to work together when holding a pencil.
This simple visual helps students recognize and gently adjust their grip for more effective writing.
From there, the book and Resources provide the practice and support needed to strengthen and maintain this skill.
