HANDWRITING AND THE BRAIN

HANDWRITING AND THE BRAIN

  Our conscious mind only uses 5% of its capacity. The 

remaining 95%, is controlled by our subconscious. Additionally,

it is important to note the connection between handwriting 

and brain function. 

 Just as below, the behaviors, as they interrelate to handwriting,

are equally correlated through extensive research. Here are some

interesting "facts" about handwriting and how it ties into every'

day life.

1. Handwriting is necessary for developing children to recognize

fundamental differences between written and spoken 

language.

2. In the 1970's, research demonstrated the link between

handwriting and language art development.

3, Multiple studies conducted between 1994-2010 demonstrated

the relationship between handwriting and communication skills.

This was also true about compositional ability. Those with strong

handwriting skills , tended to be better readers and performed

better academically than their peers.

4. Studies in the 1980's showed that handwriting is a child's

first encounter with literacy and can help identify children who

may be at risk if having future difficulty in this area.

5. Right-handed individuals tend to prefer sports , while left-

handed individuals prefer reading, and collecting things like

movies. However, learning to write with both hands can

actually BROADEN your interests and hobbies. Those hobbies

tend to involve in a love for art, music,, dancing, and 

documentaries. Use both hands as much as possible in your every

day life. See if your interests do not broaden as you do so more

and more.

6. Handwriting has been repeatedly proven to improve focus and

attention; worsening the symptoms of ADD and ADHD.

7. Handwriting is directly related to the development of the 

Central Nervous System.

8. By age 13, our opinions and principles are well-formed, and

handwriting starts reflecting its uniqueness.

9. Handwriting can have a positive effect on children and teens'

self-esteem by allowing them to feel proud of their 

accomplishments.

10. Between the ages of 9 and 15, 75% of those diagnosed with

a writing-specific-disorder struggle with cognitive and visual

perceptual functioning.
