Four variations in the dynamic tripod grip (that used for standard pencil grasp) were examined for their influence on the handwriting speed and legibility of 282 children aged between 8 and 14 years. No significant difference was found for either speed or legibility. Further analysis of standard versus non‐standard grips and fast, legible versus slow, illegible writers also failed to support the view that writing was related to the type of grip employed. These findings question the emphasis placed on so called ‘correct’ pencil grip and suggest more attention should be focus upon other factors underlying poor handwriting performance.
