What is KAZ Touch Typing?
KAZ's inclusive Mainstream and SEN/Dyslexia touch typing software have proven so effective that it has been nominated for several academic awards. Available in two editions, Junior (6- 11) and adult (ages 11+). Our schools' edition incorporates both options.
The course is a tutorial in itself and consists of 5 modules - pupils start at the top and work their way through each module in order.
The program is presented in a simple and light-hearted manner and has three main attributes:
1. A proven Accelerated Learning teaching method incorporating 'brain balance', teaching the skill quickly and easily. The method uses five scientifically structured phrases to teach the a-z keys in bite-size modules.
2. A comprehensive and easy-to-use teacher admin panel allows for uploading spellings of the week or problematic words, enabling pupils to learn to spell whilst touch typing.
3. A specialised ©Preference Screen developed with guidance from the Dyslexia Research Trust minimises visual disturbances and tailors the course for maximum visibility and comfort for pupils who need it.
All licences include both primary and secondary options.
KAZ works across various devices, and being online can be accessed from school and home, allowing learning to continue beyond the classroom. A download edition is also available when internet access is restricted or unavailable.
Due to numerous teacher requests, we have now released the new 'National Ofqual Regulated Touch Typing Qualifications' (Level 1 - 3 credits and Level 2 - 5 credits) in partnership with OpenAwards.
