To date, the recording of textual information in electronic form has gained particular popularity. Digital devices are widely used, and this recording method is used not only by adults, but also by children. Of course, it is convenient and takes less time. And if the autocorrect mode is enabled on your phone or laptop, you shouldn’t even think about the correct spelling of words.
It should be remembered that writing texts by hand has many advantages over typing on the keyboard. First, the very process of writing words contributes to the development of brain activity, since it requires more complex finger movements. It is no coincidence that fine motor skills are particularly useful in childhood. Secondly, writing by hand contributes to better memorization, because not only visual memory, but also mechanical memory will work this way. Third, the use of a pen helps to focus on the information received: “Writing texts by hand is not only an exciting activity, but also an excellent tool for improving literacy. The rules of spelling and punctuation are better assimilated if a person “passes” each word in the hand, and in the process of writing he considers the placement of punctuation marks, – commented Konstantin Zuev, associate professor of the branch of Stavropol from the Presidential Academy.
