As someone with dysgraphia (more info here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysgraphia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysgraphia), I often find the discussion about handwriting both amusing and sometimes disheartening. I understand that handwriting may help some people learn better, but I have found many other effective learning methods. It was liberating when I first managed to get my school teacher to accept printed homework. I'm not keen on articles that label handwriting as the "best" method, mainly because I believe there are many other equally valid approaches.
- dguest 3y agoI'd go a bit further: for those who have terrible handwriting (or spelling, or both) typing has played a big role in landing an education or job. Before modern word processing it was much harder for these people to be taken seriously. I don't doubt that writing by hand can be very useful to many, maybe even most people, but it's not for everyone.
