Learning to touch type brings many benefits to people with dyslexia. It reduces the need for handwriting, (often a disliked or problematic area), and typing is easily corrected without original mistakes being apparent. It vastly improves efficiency of computer usage, and Spell Checkers are an invaluable help. In addition, touch typing actually facilitates learning to spell, by making spelling more than a simple visual skill: spelling also becomes patterns on the keyboard – patterns and spatial skills are often areas of strength for people with dyslexia.

Englishtype was developed by an Educational Psychologist and is designed to maximise additional literacy benefits at the same time as teaching typing, and a team of award winning video game designers to add the most fun! It encourages reading, spelling, grammar & punctuation skills, uses National Literacy Strategy word lists and only age-relevant and useful vocabulary. Unlike other typing tutors, lesson data is highly structured, e.g. non-words are controlled letter patterns only; these are kept entirely separate from, and do not resemble, real words. This is to ensure there is no confusion in learning spelling.
