My 7 year old is now keen to start as he remembers sitting on his brother’s knee and how fun the program was so here we go again! Thank you for such an excellent, imaginative and effective program. He is now a confident and happy 17 year old – excited about all the world has to offer. Now 17, he has gone on to study Music at college and uses touch typing for all his assignments – it means the process of writing assignments is painless and he can get down all the brilliant ideas he has without them being crushed by the slowness and illegibility of handwriting. He went on to pass 8/9 GCSE exams and a year later got a high C in that final exam. He produced work quickly and could edit it well as it was readable. He started to feel proud of what he could achieve.
By 2018, Max was producing his work both in class and at home on a computer. This means that he was learning a vital skill for someone whose writing was hard to read and slow to produce whilst the process felt like fun and not laborious. He said that he wanted to do it every day because he wanted to get all the games and all the new characters. Englishtype was recommended to us in 2017 by Max’s teacher as his writing was holding him back, he was slow and his left-handed writing was hard to read. My son Max was 14, dyslexic and left-handed – he struggled to feel good about himself in school, the school system that he was in was geared towards non-dyslexic brains and so he could not access the learning in the same way. This sounds like an exaggeration but it is not.
I wanted to write this review of Englishtype as it has been so life-changing for my son.
