To be successful in school, it is important for students to be able to communicate to teachers what they know and have learned through exams, papers, daily assignments, and projects. The primary way students display this knowledge during these tasks is in written form, and thus, the skill of handwriting is essential. School-based occupational therapists commonly evaluate and correct the ways students grasp their pencil, because pencil grasp is believed to play a significant role on overall handwriting skills, like speed and legibility (Schneck, 1991).
