Many school supplies are made with only right-handed writers in mind, leaving lefties to grapple with pens, pencils, notebooks, and more that are uncomfortable and difficult for them to work with. Back-to-school season can be challenging for parents and children for a number of reasons, from getting used to a routine again after weeks of Summer freedom to making sure your kids have everything they need to be successful. But throw in the fact that one of your children is left-handed, and that can make things even more complicated. However, if you know the right places to look, you'll find some of the most essential school products adapted for left-handed learners!
