Question

[108]. 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. Research in classrooms suggests that this selection helps memory, because the student processes meaning rather than transcribing sound. Typing is still valuable for drafting and editing, but it should not replace the thinking that handwriting forces. The passage's main contrast is between:

Schools and homes

Processing meaning by hand and transcribing sound by typing
