44. Why do Lefthanders hold the paper differently when writing?
Lefthanders turn the paper in order to more completely mimic
the right hand style. Included in this method is using the twisted
hand over the top of the line of writing method adopted by some
left handers.
With the advent of the biro some left handers push the nib in front
of the hand movement. Others hold their arm at right angles to the
line of writing and so don't cover up the writing or twist the arm
over the top. Various forms of positioning the writing pad at right
angles to the line of the desk or inclined at 60% are also used.
Young left-handers should be encouraged to try all these styles to
find the best fit for themselves.
