The practical aspect of handwriting education, such as acquiring skills to write quickly, accurately, and legibly, has become less significant as Japanese typing has become commonplace over the past several decades. Much has been written in the past about the relationship between handwriting and human development. In fact, there are calls for handwriting education to foster emotional development and concentration. On the other hand, recent findings in brain science suggest that while handwriting and typing are identical in terms of writing, they involve different processes in brain activity. Higher brain function, which is a function of the frontal lobe, is almost synonymous with human development in education, and a comparison of writing activity between the two has shown that handwriting activates frontal lobe activity more than typing. Based on these literature and brain science findings, we explored the future of handwriting education, including instruction for dyslexia.
