Nowadays, during the innovative era, many people argue that teaching handwriting
skills
 to
children
 is completely unnecessary. I completely disagree with the notion and I would like to discuss the case in the following paragraphs. It is undeniable that handwriting
skills
 are overtaken by technology.
Children
 are trained on using
computers
 at an early
stage
.
To begin
 with, since
computers
 are widely used at home, office, schools and other places, handwriting
skills
 are completely ignored. People are of the opinion that
children
 should be taught to learn typing rather than writing since they feel that computer has already overtaken books and writing.
Nevertheless
, it is true that handwriting
skills
 bring more advantages.
Firstly
, handwriting enables
children
 to practice and memorize words quickly.
Secondly
, it
also
 helps in maintaining the health of their eyesight.

 should be taught handwriting
skills
 at an early

 of their life and at a later
stage
 they should be trained on

.
This
 will help in nurturing their health and mental development at an early
stage

Moreover
, writing

 considered to recognize

 it might be completely forgotten. To conclude, after the aforementioned reasons, it is crucial to understand the importance of handwriting.
