Should we bother teaching handwriting?

我们应该把精力花在教学生写字上吗？

As prevalent as keyboards are, handwriting isn’t obsolete quite yet, so it remains important to teach letter formation to young children.

虽然键盘大行其道，但是手写至今也还未过时，所以将字母编排教给幼儿依然重要。

The letters of the alphabet are complex abstract symbols and children can’t begin to write their letters until they can draw a circle. If they can’t draw a circle then they can’t form letters like a, b, d, o, p, q.

字母表中的字母是复杂而抽象的符号，只有等孩子们可以画圆圈时，他们才可以开始书写字母。如果他们不会画圈，那么他们便写不出a、b、d、o、p、q这些字母来。

This ability to draw an enclosed shape is a very important marker of both cognitive and physical development, and it is a skill that emerges from their scribbles. So drawing, scribbling and playing with crayons and pencils are an important part of learning to hand write.

画封闭图形的能力是认知和身体发展的重要标志，这项技能从涂鸦开始形成。所以画画、涂鸦和摆弄蜡笔与铅笔是学习写字的重要部分。

An old-fashioned anachronism?

手写过时了？

The history of handwriting has always been one of convenience and change according to the writing technologies available.
