For many dyslexic learners, writing by hand can be challenging. Although it is good to build handwriting skills as far as possible, handwriting itself can prove a barrier to learning.
Many learners who find handwriting difficult find that touch typing is a practical alternative. Touch typing is now a skill that is valuable to almost anyone in education or the modern workplace.
It is worth considering a touch typing programme which will help to develop good touch typing technique as early as possible in a young person's education.
