Using small writing utensils, especially broken crayons to facilitate a more refined grasp and a lot of focus on strengthening of the hand muscles! I like the preprinted worksheets where the students can trace. I also love to use the green line above and red line below to have the student know where to keep their letters. Some students do well with having a small line per letter to stay on. I like to have the students who are having difficulty with pencil grip to use the bigger, chunkier pencils.
