Touch typing Learning to touch type brings many benefits to Dyslexic individuals. 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 Dyslexics.
