What do you do for that kid that never keeps up with a pencil?
All you need is a milkshake (jumbo) straw and some tape.

Jumbo Straw and Duct Tape |
Steps:
- Cut the straw in half.
- Fold over about a quarter inch of the end of the straw and wrap a small piece of tape around the end. (Reason: The pencil doesn't touch tape at the bottom because the end is folded over.)
- Tape it down to the inside left cover of the composition book close to the spine. (Experience: Use tape and not staples. Staples through the cover will reap havoc on your hands. I have scars.)

Pencil Holder |
Advice: Place the pencil holder close to the spine and the less likely it is that the pencil flies out when the student closes their journal.
