Questions & AnswersHi, this is Linda Lewis on behalf of Expert Village.com. Check out my website at www.keytime.com. Is it easy for disgraphic, dyslexic, and other learners to learn to type easily? With our methods, it is very simple for the students to learn because it is based on the English language and how we logically think. Instead of a student learning to type, that is going to have to use a pencil and it is difficult for them to hold a pencil it is much easier for them to keyboard so that they are able to just hack the key. Once they’ve learned the keyboard and it usually only takes an hour for them to learn, that they work with the materials based again on our language and we work with letter combos that are used commonly. These are the ten most common letter combinations that we have in our language. So once they learn these letter combos and they practice them, then they can start typing very simple words that build on those. The other thing that is very helpful is that the fuzzy dots that are on the home keys are something that they can kinesthetically know where their hands are placed and be able to feel very comfortable using the keys.
