Como escrita à mão beneficia o cérebro e ganha nova chance em escolas
A partir de 2024, crianças do primeiro ao sexto ano de escolas públicas da Califórnia (EUA) estão novamente tendo de aprender a escrever em letra cursiva.
Essa escrita à mão havia saído do currículo californiano em 2010, mas agora está de volta — movimento semelhante ao que ocorre em mais de 20 Estados americanos, em diferentes graus.
A escrita cursiva — em que se escreve em uma letra parecida à itálica, sem necessariamente tirar o lápis do caderno — chegou a ser vista como uma técnica moribunda nos EUA.
Agora, a decisão na Califórnia reacende debates educacionais e científicos a respeito do valor da escrita à mão, bem como dos benefícios ao cérebro e das implicações globais se essa técnica acabar caindo no esquecimento.
A neurocientista Claudia Aguirre, que mora na Califórnia, diz que "mais e mais pesquisas sustentam a ideia de que escrever letras em cursivo, especialmente em comparação com digitar, ativa caminhos neurais específicos que facilitam e otimizam o aprendizado e o desenvolvimento da linguagem".
Karin James, professora de Ciências Cerebrais e Psicológicas na Universidade de Indiana (EUA), aplica suas pesquisas em crianças de 4 a 6 anos.
Ela identificou que aprender as letras por meio da escrita à mão ativa redes do cérebro que não são ativadas pela digitação num teclado. Isso inclui áreas cerebrais que têm papel crucial no desenvolvimento da leitura.
Outra pesquisa, de autoria de Virginia Berninger (Universidade de Washington), também mostrou que a escrita cursiva, os materiais impressos e a digitação usam funções cerebrais relacionadas, porém diferentes.
Além disso, no caso da digitação em teclado, os movimentos do dedo são os mesmos para qualquer tecla de letra. Como consequência, se apenas aprenderem a digitar, as crianças perderão a chance de desenvolver habilidades obtidas ao compreenderem e dominarem a capacidade de escrever.
Um pequeno estudo italiano aponta que o ensino da cursiva a alunos de primeiro ano pode melhorar as habilidades de leitura.
A despeito disso, o ensino da letra cursiva para crianças pequenas vinha se tornando mais raro. Em vários países, essa técnica não é mais obrigatória.
Nos EUA, embora o ensino da cursiva esteja voltando à luz, ele não é padronizado — o que traz desafios aos professores.
"Mais de 20 Estados acrescentaram a suas diretrizes educacionais a exigência da escrita cursiva entre o 3° e o 5° anos", explica Kathleen S. Wright, fundadora e diretora-executiva do Colaborativo de Escrita à Mão, organização que ensina boas práticas nessa área. "Mas essa exigência não é imposta nem recebe financiamento, então o ensino da escrita à mão não é endereçado de forma consistente."
Dessa forma, professores californianos terão agora de descobrir como integrar a cursiva a suas aulas.
Mesmo assim, a iniciativa do Estado é vista como benéfica, num momento pós-pandemia em que se buscam formas de ensinar habilidades que reduzam a dependência das telas entre crianças.
"Temos visto cada vez mais pais reclamando que seus filhos estão tendo dificuldades na escola, que não foram ensinados a escrever porque usam principalmente computadores e outros aparelhos", diz Kelsey Voltz-Poremba, professora-assistente de terapia ocupacional da Universidade de Pittsburgh (EUA).
A escrita cursiva ainda é amplamente ensinada na Europa Ocidental, em particular em países como Reino Unido, Espanha, Itália, Portugal e França. [...]
O Canadá tentou descartar a escrita cursiva, mas voltou a ensiná-la em 2023. O Ministério de Educação da província de Ontário restabeleceu a exigência da escrita cursiva e agora está virando uma espécie de laboratório para outras regiões que tentam entender quais as melhores práticas para esse ensino, quanto tempo devem durar as aulas e com qual frequência essa técnica deve ser ensinada.
Em meio a tantas diferenças globais, as pesquisas ressaltam que não há lado negativo em aprender letra cursiva. E embora a ligação entre escrever à mão e melhorar a leitura não sejam necessariamente causais, alguns educadores temem que o abandono da letra cursiva pode piorar o desempenho de alunos em sua capacidade de ler textos.
Além disso, o mero ato de escrever ajuda a memória e o aprendizado de palavras.
"É importante achar um equilíbrio para garantir que os alunos tenham habilidades que sejam obtidas sem o uso da tecnologia", opina a especialista Voltz-Poremba.

LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA
Última flor do Lácio, inculta e bela,
És, a um tempo, esplendor e sepultura;
Ouro nativo, que, na ganga impura,
A bruta mina entre os cascalhos vela...
Amo-te assim, desconhecida e obscura,
Tuba de alto clangor, lira singela,
Que tens o trom e o silvo da procela,
E o arrolo da saudade e da ternura!
Amo o teu viço agreste e o teu aroma
De virgens selvas e de oceanos largos!
Amo-te, ó rude e doloroso idioma,
Em que da voz materna ouvi: “meu filho!”
E em que Camões chorou, no exílio amargo,
O gênio sem ventura e o amor sem brilho!

The world cup debutants determined to prove nothing is impossible
When the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11 in Mexico City, it will set in motion a flurry of historic firsts.
A newly expanded 48-team tournament, three countries: the US, Canada and Mexico as hosts and we’ll also get to see four debutants in the shape of Curaçao, Jordan, Uzbekistan and Cape Verde.
It was in October of last year that Cape Verde, the African archipelago nation — with a population of just over half a million people — qualified for its first ever World Cup after beating Eswatini 3-0 to become the third-smallest country after Curaçao and Iceland eight years ago to make it through to football’s biggest stage.
It was a feat made even more impressive by the fact the Blue Sharks ended up four points ahead of traditional continental powerhouse Cameroon, topping their Confederation of African Football qualifying group in the process.
It’s no wonder the team’s head coach Pedro Leitão Brito — better known as Bubista — was beaming with pride when he dropped by the CNN studios in Atlanta recently as part of a visit to Mercedes-Benz stadium, where Cape Verde will begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 against the 2010 winners and reigning European champions, Spain.
“We are so excited. I think the people are so excited and we’re going to do our best for our people,” Bubista — a distinguished former captain and defender on the national team — told CNN Sports.
Bubista oversaw a truly history-making qualifying campaign. A sequence of results that included a highly impressive five straight wins, the highlight of which featured a never-to-be-forgotten 1-0 triumph over the Cameroonians in September 2025.
But it’s October 13, 2025, that will be indelibly etched into the memory of all who witnessed Cape Verde’s historic win against Eswatini. A victory that would spark frenzied celebrations of joy in the country’s capital city Praia.
“Our people are so excited and so happy. Our people in the world, it’s just so great for our qualification and now our people are so grateful for everything,” Bubista added.
Cape Verde may be about to play in a first ever World Cup, but the national team is no stranger to success when it comes to competing in the Africa Cup of Nations having reached the quarterfinals in 2013 and then again, a decade later. Bubista oversaw the latter campaign but now the head coach’s focus is fully on his team’s tournament opener against Spain.
“We know it’s a very difficult match … They have very good players. We will respect them but anything is possible. We’re going to do our best to show the world what we can do in football,” Bubista reflected.
“We know it’s a hard game, but we have our heart and team spirit and this is important for us. Our unity is our strength,” he added.
The Blue Sharks will arrive in the US with a talented squad including Villarreal’s Logan Costa, Paris Saint-Germain 18-year-old Fabio Domingos and 36-year-old Ryan Mendes, who is the country’s most-capped player — with more than 90 appearances for the national team — and is Cape Verde’s all-time leading goalscorer.
And then there’s the remarkable story of the Shamrock Rovers forward Roberto “Pico” Lopes who was born in Ireland, but when it comes to international football, represents Cape Verde, currently ranked 69th in the world.
Lopes had always wanted to play for Ireland but when that didn’t materialize, he ended up playing for his father’shomeland after famously being recruited through a LinkedIn message from then-team head coach Rui Águas. Initially Lopes ignored the first message sent in Portuguese as spam but not the second one sent a few months later in English.

It was in October of last year that Cape Verde, the African archipelago nation — with a population of just over half a million people — qualified for its first ever World Cup after beating Eswatini 3-0 to become the third-smallest country after Curaçao and Iceland eight years ago to make it through to football’s biggest stage.
It was a feat made even more impressive by the fact the Blue Sharks ended up four points ahead of traditional continental powerhouse Cameroon, topping their Confederation of African Football qualifying group in the process.
It’s no wonder the team’s head coach Pedro Leitão Brito — better known as Bubista — was beaming with pride when he dropped by the CNN studios in Atlanta recently as part of a visit to Mercedes-Benz stadium, where Cape Verde will begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 against the 2010 winners and reigning European champions, Spain.
“We are so excited. I think the people are so excited and we’re going to do our best for our people,” Bubista — a distinguished former captain and defender on the national team — told CNN Sports.
Bubista oversaw a truly history-making qualifying campaign. A sequence of results that included a highly impressive five straight wins, the highlight of which featured a never-to-be-forgotten 1-0 triumph over the Cameroonians in September 2025.
But it’s October 13, 2025, that will be indelibly etched into the memory of all who witnessed Cape Verde’s historic win against Eswatini. A victory that would spark frenzied celebrations of joy in the country’s capital city Praia.
“Our people are so excited and so happy. Our people in the world, it’s just so great for our qualification and now our people are so grateful for everything,” Bubista added.
Cape Verde may be about to play in a first ever World Cup, but the national team is no stranger to success when it comes to competing in the Africa Cup of Nations having reached the quarterfinals in 2013 and then again, a decade later. Bubista oversaw the latter campaign but now the head coach’s focus is fully on his team’s tournament opener against Spain.
“We know it’s a very difficult match … They have very good players. We will respect them but anything is possible. We’re going to do our best to show the world what we can do in football,” Bubista reflected.
“We know it’s a hard game, but we have our heart and team spirit and this is important for us. Our unity is our strength,” he added.
The Blue Sharks will arrive in the US with a talented squad including Villarreal’s Logan Costa, Paris Saint-Germain 18-year-old Fabio Domingos and 36-year-old Ryan Mendes, who is the country’s most-capped player — with more than 90 appearances for the national team — and is Cape Verde’s all-time leading goalscorer.
And then there’s the remarkable story of the Shamrock Rovers forward Roberto “Pico” Lopes who was born in Ireland, but when it comes to international football, represents Cape Verde, currently ranked 69th in the world.
Lopes had always wanted to play for Ireland but when that didn’t materialize, he ended up playing for his father’shomeland after famously being recruited through a LinkedIn message from then-team head coach Rui Águas. Initially Lopes ignored the first message sent in Portuguese as spam but not the second one sent a few months later in English.
