When learning the keyboard, it is important to practise frequently with as few breaks in between as possible.

Each daily assignment takes about 20 minutes. The daily assignments are structured in such a way that we first start by repeating what was introduced last time. This is followed by a new letter or symbol which is practised sufficiently so that you will be able to find it again next time.

If there are too many pauses between practice sessions, choose “Extra practice” from the main menu first. This will train only the previous exercises, strengthening the basis.

If you want to finish the course sooner, you can! But make sure you have enough breaks between the individual daily assignments. Do something else in between that does not require you to concentrate. For example, play outside, play sports, chill out…

From daily assignment 3 in module 1 onwards, you can choose “extra practise” from the main menu before or instead of an assignment. You will then only train with the letters you have learned so far.

The special/dyslexia programme of TypeTopia is recommended by, among others, internal coaches, remedial teachers and speech therapists to, among others, children with dyslexia and/or difficulty with automatisation and/or fine motor skills and/or ASD and/or concentration problems. In addition to learning keyboard skills, the course of TypeTopia also increases letter recognition, which in turn has a positive influence on dyslexia and language development.

The TypeTopia dyslexia version has been scientifically researched: Thesis research shows that the reading skills of dyslexic children demonstrably and significantly improve when they follow the dyslexia version of TypeTopia. “For dyslexic children it is very difficult to learn to read and write automatically and this typing course supports them precisely in the things they have difficulty with,” says researcher and educationalist Evelien Dam.

The new version of TypeTopia makes intensive use of the latest Internet technologies. Due to the high level of graphic sophistication, an older computer with software upgrades may be too weak because of its graphic card.

In order to work reliably with TypeTopia, we recommend:

– ‘Windows 10’ or ‘Mac with at least Safari 11.0.3.’
– At least 4 GB of working memory
– A graphic card with at least 2 GB of working memory
– At least an Intel core i5 or comparable after 2013 (Haswell or later)
