Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The sequential finger movements required to write by hand activates brain regions involved with thought, language and short-term memory.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: No. Children should have strength and dexterity in their hands and fingers before being asked to manipulate a pencil on paper. Working on dexterity and strength first can eliminate the development of an inappropriate pencil grasp, which is becoming more commonplace as young children are engaged in writing experiences before their hands are ready.
