B. NOvelty, which means it's different from the experiences with negative associations in the past.
C. YOu can erase mistakes *totally* - so that you can make things still "look right" - line up right when you're doing a multi-step problem, etc.
D. You can write bigger - see it better anduse more of that gross motor which for so many of our guys is easier than fine motor.
