Hello everyone.
2
Today I'd like to share a news article that I read on news levels.
3
Today's news is about why is handwriting important.
4
I'll talk about three new words, two facts and one reason why I like this news.
5
Let's get started.
6
First, here are the three new words that I learned.
7
The first word is cognitive, which means related to thinking and reasoning.
8
The second word is sensory motor, which means related to both sensory and motor functions.
9
The third word is legible, which means written or printed clearly enough to be read.
10
Now, let me share two facts from the news.
11
The first fact is that handwriting plays a key role in cognitive development, memory retention, and academic performance.
12
A study published in the National Library of Medicine found that handwriting contributes to brand development.
13
Writing letters and words is especially beneficial for young children's brains compared to other types of sensory motor activities.
14
Moreover, legible handwriting can be led to better grades, regardless of the content.
15
The second fact is that, according to Christa Griffin, a professor of elementary education,
16
writing helps children connect letters with sounds.
17
Therefore, using a pencil and paper instead of typing on a phone can be more beneficial.
18
Finally, I'd like to share why I like this news.
19
I like this news because it reminds me that handwriting is still important, even in today's digital world.
20
It reminds us that writing by hand helps improve our thinking and learning skills.
21
That's all for my new summary today.
22
Thank you for watching.
23
See you in my next video.
24
Bye.
