It was developed by KAZ Type Limited with advice and guidance from the Dyslexia Research Trust. Each person chooses the Adult or Junior version, so children and parents can learn side by side at their own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the KAZ Family Edition helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the course begins, a preference screen lets each learner choose a dyslexia-friendly typeface, font size, font colour, background or filter colour and keyboard style. Once they can read the sample text comfortably, those settings apply throughout the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKAZ teaches the A to Z keys using specific combinations of just 11 words in 5 short phrases, rather than long, repetitive drills or games. Instruction is spoken and written, and the course is split into short modules. KAZ's tests show most users complete the A to Z keys in around 90 minutes, although some take longer. KAZ suggests allowing an average of 4 hours, plus practice time, for the full keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOnline or download: which suits your family?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe online edition\u003c\/strong\u003e includes 5 annual licences and an administrator panel, so you can follow each person's progress.

The preference screen was developed with the Dyslexia Research Trust to reduce these visual disturbances. KAZ's method also builds muscle memory, so familiar words become a pattern of finger movements, which KAZ says reduces the likelihood of transposing and misspelling words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSupport for dyspraxia (DCD)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKAZ lists its SEN\/Dyslexia Edition as suitable for individuals with dyspraxia. The method trains the fingers of both hands to work symmetrically, building technique step by step through short modules. For children who find handwriting slow or tiring, typing offers another way to get their ideas down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy touch typing matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTouch typing is a life skill that supports homework, coursework and later study. KAZ states that the Open University ran a year-long study of the KAZ method and went on to use it with its students for over 14 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf more than one person in your family would like to learn to type, the KAZ SEN\/Dyslexia Family Edition is a simple, good-value way to start together.
