How to hold a pen?

A pen or pencil should lie on the upper phalanx of the middle finger, fixed on top with the thumb, and on the side with the index. The ring finger and little finger should be bent inside the palm of the hand or to the base of the thumb. The grip of the handle should be such that its lower end is one and a half centimeters free, and the handle itself is tilted towards the shoulder. An index finger should be relaxed, lie free and at ease, otherwise the hand will quickly become tired. When writing, the hand should rest on the base of the wrist, the outer edge of the palm, and the little finger. As you write, you need to gradually move the edge of the palm, gently sliding on the paper, leaving the main point of support the base of the wrist.
