And there is some research that shows that using handwriting versus typing is formative in some ways for how the brain wires itself.

I tend to be a little less rigid about that than some reading specialists.

So I'll just say that up front because I am so invested in self-expression.

I mean, there are kids who are paralyzed.

There are kids who will never be able to use their hands.

There are children who are blind, who are using completely different technologies for writing.

Writing to me, fundamentally, starts with self-expression.

Expression.

And then the vehicle for that self-expression, whether it's your hand or it's voice to text, is secondary.

If we can train a child to have the independence to use their own hands, that's incredibly valuable.

And we want that as an outcome, but it might not be for all people.

A friend of my husband's has his PhD and he struggled with dyslexia his whole life.

He got his PhD in the 1980s, so long before we had voice to text or computer tech.

technology.

And for his dissertation, he used a dictaphone, recorded it all with his voice, and hired a secretarial service to type it for him.

Why did he do that?

He had made it all the way through grad school to the end and he said this.

He could give better attention to his thoughts when he didn't have to think about spelling and punctuation.

And this is a man who today works as a professor.

I think it's important for us to remember that.
