lthough a fundamental skill, touch typing is frequently overlooked. However in today's
world of computers and technology, with an ever increasing percentage of coursework and assignments having to be presented in typed format, the need to equip students with the 'life skill' of touch typing in order to prepare them for further education, the working environment and life, has never been more essential.

Dyslexia Research Trust, it teaches typing skills whilst minimising disturbances related to visual stress by means of a unique 'Preference Screen' – offering the user a selection of preferences to choose from, tailor making the course to their needs for maximum visibility comfort.

exercises and distracting and time consuming games, KAZ's unique and proven accelerating learning teaching method incorporates both 'muscle memory' and 'brain balance', engaging the major senses of sight, sound and touch simultaneously, radically enhancing memory retention and recall - which is why it is so effective.
