I was hoping for a few ideas about a 6 year old boy I saw recently, who has an extremely poor pencil grip.  He is a bright little boy who is managing all academic aspects of schooling well, except his writing which, although neat and legible, is very slow.  He is left handed and holds his pencil, with his wrist supinated, thumb and three fingers on the pencil shaft, with the fourth closest to the point.  His teacher has apparently tried every readily available pen grip, as well as a range of differing shaped pencils and pens.  I plan to see him in school soon, but was wondering if anyone has come across this or had any success with a similar problem.

Thankyou
