Why I am talking about touch typing?
I have a grown son who is dyslexic. He once said that learning to touch type in year 7 was one of the best skills that helped him. I have spoken to other people with dyslexia and they have agreed that the skill is invaluable.
The benefits of touch typing.
As I sit here using three fingers to type the first thing, I will say is speed. In a digital world keyboards are everywhere. Being able to touch type is a skill for life. One of the first things my son’s secondary school did was teach him to touch type. He agrees that this is one of the most valuable skills he learnt. Some people learn to touch type quicker than they learn to write with pen and paper.
Touch Typing is a highly beneficial skill for Dyslexics and those who struggle with literacy. Read this interesting blog about the 5 benefits of touch typing. Five Reasons Why Touch-Typing Could Help A Dyslexic Learner. — The Studying With Dyslexia Blog
