⦁ Handwriting enhances memory retention and learning through deeper encoding as it requires active motor and cognitive engagement, which helps strengthen neural pathways related to visual, sensory, and motor processes.
⦁ Writing by hand involves multiple brain regions tied to language, thinking, and memory, leading to better comprehension and long-term retention compared to typing.
⦁ For children, handwriting supports literacy development including letter recognition, reading fluency, and phonetic comprehension.
⦁ Handwriting encourages concentration, fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and mental agility.
