The article shows the influence of pen calligraphy classes according to the method of Ya. A. Galeeva "School of Russian Calligraphy" on the cognitive sphere of younger schoolchildren with learning difficulties. The authors present the results of an experiment conducted by them in 2018-2019 in two schools in Moscow (the average age of children is 8 years and 11 months) and revealed the correctional potential of the manual pen writing technique. The analysis of the data of neuropsychological diagnostics of the cognitive sphere of children before and after calligraphy lessons showed a significant improvement in visual memory, optical-spatial sphere and voluntary regulation, programming and control. The authors conclude that this technique can be used both for the aesthetic development of children and for the simultaneous correction of these cognitive functions. It can be useful for teachers of additional education, psychologists and parents.
