This unique touch typing tutor was developed by an educational psychologist specialising in dyslexia for 25 years. It maximises literacy benefits at the same time as teaching typing and is carefully designed to meet the special needs of dyslexic teenagers and adults; it uses a multi-sensory approach, strong colour coding, a simple visual presentation style and both written & spoken instructions.
Englishtype Senior is a version of the best selling children's typing tutor, Englishtype Junior, designed for older students. Englishtype Senior was developed by an experienced Educational Psychologist and is designed to boost literacy at the same time as teaching typing.
Unlike other typing tutors, Englishtype Senior is designed to maximise additional literacy benefits at the same time as teaching typing. We recommend Senior for over 12 years old up to adults, or sometimes Junior can be good for older children if they have Special Needs.
