Learn to Touch Type – The Englishtype Way

Typing is no longer just a useful skill — it’s an essential one. In today’s digital world, being able to type efficiently can unlock access, reduce anxiety, and improve the quality of written work.

Englishtype is a trusted and proven programme that’s been teaching typing for over 25 years, developed by an Educational Psychologist and aligned with the UK National Curriculum. It’s designed to help all learners succeed — especially those with SEND needs like Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autism and Visual Impairments.

A Life-Changing Skill for Neurodiverse Learners

For many learners with SEND, handwriting is a barrier to success. Touch typing provides a powerful alternative — one that can:

  • Improve quantity and quality of written work

  • Reduce frustration and fatigue

  • Build independence in the classroom and beyond

  • Support focus and spelling retention through muscle memory

Touch typing allows the brain to focus on what is being written, not how it’s written.
