are finding that writing by hand is more than just a way to
communicate. The practice helps with learning letters and shapes, can
improve idea composition and expression, and may aid fine motor-skill
development. It's not just children who benefit. Adults studying new symbols, such
as Chinese characters, might enhance recognition by writing the
characters by hand, researchers say. Some physicians say handwriting
could be a good cognitive exercise for baby boomers working to keep
their minds sharp as they age.
