9th October 2021
“The question out there for parents and educators is why should our kids spend any time doing handwriting,” says cognitive scientist Brenda Rapp from Johns Hopkins University. “Obviously, you’re going to be a better hand-writer if you practice it. But since people are handwriting less, then maybe who cares?”
“The real question is: Are there other benefits to handwriting that have to do with reading and spelling and understanding? We find there most definitely are.”
