How to use it
- Check pencil grip at the start, and keep the sheet tilted for comfort.
- Keep sessions short: ten good minutes beats thirty tired ones.
- Read the directions aloud so the sheet is about writing, not decoding the directions.
Watch for
Tight grips and sore hands. Try a pencil grip or a thicker pencil.
