Typing isn’t just a practical skill—it can be life changing for dyslexic students! In this episode, I break down why learning to type can remove barriers, boost confidence, and even reinforce reading and spelling skills.

I’ll share my personal experience diving into touch typing (spoiler: it’s not as easy as it looks!) and the fascinating science behind why typing activates key areas of the brain that support literacy. Plus, I’ll explore some of the best typing programs out there—what works, what doesn’t, and how to help your child build this essential skill the right way.

If you’ve ever wondered whether typing is worth the effort for your dyslexic learner, this episode is for you! Let’s rethink how we teach writing and give our students a tool they can use for life.

🔹 Why traditional keyboarding classes don’t work for dyslexic students

🔹 How to introduce typing the right way (accuracy before speed!)

🔹 The best programs for dyslexic learners—Typing.com, TypingClub, and TTRS

Tune in and let’s unlock a new way to support our students! 🎧✨
