Question

[106]. Passage: Handwriting is slower than typing, and that slowness can be useful. When students write by hand, they must select, shorten, and reshape what they hear, instead of copying every word.

Typing is still valuable for drafting and editing, but it should not replace the thinking that handwriting forces. Handwriting helps memory, per passage, because students:

1.
Avoid thinking
2.
Write faster than typing
3.
Select, shorten and reshape meaning instead of transcribing
4.
Copy every word
