Scientists who study reading have found something interesting. Children learn better when they write by hand instead of only typing on a screen.
When you write with a pencil or pen, your brain works harder. Writing helps you:
- Remember spellings
- Recognise letters
- Understand what you read
- This does not mean computers are bad. Computers are useful for learning and projects. But writing by hand is still very important.

- Read books
- Write notes by hand
- answers Practise writing
Using both books and screens is the best way to learn.
Even today, pen and paper help young brains become smarter.
