1. Reduces Cognitive Load

• Dyslexic children often struggle with spelling, handwriting, and reading simultaneously. Touch typing helps automate the mechanical part of writing, freeing up mental energy to focus on language content.
• Muscle memory developed through touch typing can help reinforce correct spelling patterns.

2. Improves Spelling and Word Recognition

• Repeated typing of words helps dyslexic learners associate letter patterns with finger movements, reinforcing correct spellings.
• Predictive text and spellcheck tools (more accessible when typing) can assist in real-time learning and correction.

3. Supports Literacy Development

• Typing encourages dyslexic students to compose and express thoughts more fluently than handwriting might allow.
• It can help them write more without the frustration that sometimes comes with illegible or slow handwriting.

4. Boosts Confidence and Independence

• Touch typing can level the playing field with peers, giving dyslexic children a way to produce neat, legible work quickly.
• It can help reduce anxiety associated with written tasks and assignments.

5. Encourages Better Organization and Editing

• Typed work is easier to edit, rearrange, and organize, which is important for dyslexic learners who may need more time to structure ideas clearly.
