For centuries learning to write joined-up letters has been an integral part of children's education, but that is now being threatened by the computer revolution.

Our grandchildren may use a stylus on a tablet PC instead of a Parker Pen on tablet paper, but they will continue to write.
That's because even in an era when elementary school students are adept at mousing and teenagers are fiends at text-messaging, some experts say that writing with a pen is still the backbone for teaching people how to read and learn facts. The difference will be in how the characters are made.

Typically in many schools all over the world a large amount of time l is spent up in writing notes, assignment and copying from board. The evaluation of a student is still linked to written exams.

Handwriting difficulties can therefore weaken educational progress and interfere with learning. Handwriting fluency can affect completing written assignments, ability to take notes during lectures and frequency of writing

Rhona Stainthorp, the professor of literacy at the Institute of Education at University College London (UCL), says: "Unless children learn to write legibly and at speed, their educational achievements may be reduced and their self-esteem affected.'
