Dysgraphia and Dyslexia can affect how easily a student learns how to type. These students often struggle to learn the keyboard.
Yet, typing is the ideal by-pass strategy for all students with dysgraphia and dyslexia. Typing eliminates the manual fatigue of handwriting for the dysgraphic student and offers the dyslexic student the support of the spell check.
Summer is a great time for your child to begin to learn to type. The sooner the child with dysgraphia or dyslexia starts the learn-to-type process the better.
Typing fluency develops slowly for students who also struggle to write, spell, and organize ideas. Use this summer to explore home typing programs that are interactive, sequential, and eliminate the tedium of rote repetition.
Stay tuned to Child and Family Development blogs to learn WHAT typing programs to research and HOW to put a summer typing program into action.
