Parents and children meet up after a month, to celebrate progress and receive a certificate which can be used as evidence at school for use of a laptop.

Why Touch-typing?
Touch-typing can be hugely beneficial for a child with dyslexia. If a child is confident touch-typing before they leave primary school, they are more likely to be allowed to use a laptop for their exams. According to the British Dyslexia Association, ‘some dyslexic students find typing easier than handwriting, as the tactile element of pressing the keyboard can help with managing difficult words.’ On a computer it is easy to correct mistakes, move words around and it is non-judgmental, giving children greater confidence.
The course includes:Mon 23rd October, 1.30 – 3.00pm Tues 24th October, 1.30 – 3.00pm Wed 25th October, 1.30 – 3.00pm Thurs 26th October 1.30 – 3.00pm
