“first we build the tools, then they build us” — Marshall McLuhan
Studies show that alphabet technologies, including the shapes and sound of letters, influence children’s learning, behaviors, and well-being. Alphabets fonts, however, were not designed for the physically active learning styles of growing young children. Gradually, their ubiquitous use by children necessitated greater fine motor learning skills, decreased gross motor learned activities, and repatterned neuromuscular connections.
