One can also wonder about the difficulties they face with both writing tools. This paper presents an exploratory study who was conducted with students from kindergarten (5-6 years) and first grade (6-7 years). The children were interviewed individually to perform a writing task with pencil and the same task with the computer keyboard. Then the children were asked about both writing tools. The results show similar performance with both writing tools, but the justifications given by the students come modulate these results, and a preference for the use of the keyboard appears, despite some difficulties
