It's a Dream Come True...

Please be sure to provide your left-handed students with left-handed tools.  We impede the development of skills and create pervasive challenges to learning when lefties have to survive in a right-handed classroom.  Approximately 10% of the world population is left-handed.  Therefore, the rule of thumb (left thumb, that is) is keep left-handed tools in your classroom for at least 10% of the maximum number of children your classroom might hold in a given year.  We strongly recommend true left-handed scissors and left-handed pencil grips for ages four or five and up to begin with.
(30 children max. = 3 sets of left-handed tools.)
​
I'm so glad we found and can share this resource! Happy Day to all of our Left-Handed Friends!

We would LOVE some feedback on your experience with left-handed items, as well as this web site we found.
Comments Are Encouraged! :)
