In today's fast-paced world, juggling studies, social lives, and looming deadlines can feel like a constant tightrope walk. For many, this pressure can manifest as anxiety, making revision and exams even more daunting. But what if I told you there's a seemingly simple skill that could actually help you find a little more calm and boost your exam performance? Enter the unsung hero: touch typing, which can make the journey so much smoother. You might be thinking, "Touch typing? How can that possibly help my anxiety?" It's a fair question! But the connection is more profound than you might initially think. Let's delve into how this practical skill, especially when learned through effective programs, can be a game-changer, particularly when it comes to tackling revision and exams. The Anxiety-Reducing Power of Flow and Focus Think about those moments when you're truly engrossed in a task, time seems to melt away, and you're immersed in the zone. That's the power of flow. Touch typing can help you tap into this state more easily when you're working on a computer, whether you're writing notes, drafting essays, or working through practice questions. Specialist software has been specifically designed to make the learning process intuitive and engaging, helping you develop this seamless connection between thought and keystroke. Minimising Frustration: Hunting and pecking at the keyboard can be incredibly frustrating. The constant stopping and starting breaks your concentration, leading to a build-up of tension and annoyance. Touch typing eliminates this barrier, allowing your thoughts to flow seamlessly from your mind to the screen. Select programs which use structured lessons and visual aids to make learning less cumbersome and more enjoyable, directly reducing frustration.   Enhancing Focus: When you're not preoccupied with finding the right keys, your mental energy is freed up to focus on the actual content. This heightened concentration can make revision sessions more productive and less anxiety-inducing. You're less likely to get distracted by the mechanics of typing and more able to engage with the material. A software with a step-by-step guide and innovative approach helps build muscle memory, making typing an unconscious act and freeing up cognitive resources.   Boosting Confidence: As your typing speed and accuracy improve, so too will your confidence. Knowing you can efficiently articulate your thoughts on a computer can reduce anxiety surrounding tasks that require written responses, both during revision and in the exam hall itself (if typing is involved). Successfully progressing through the levels and exercises in the software provides tangible evidence of your improvement, further boosting self-assurance.   Touch Typing: Your Secret Weapon for Revision and Exams Beyond general anxiety reduction, touch typing offers specific advantages when it comes to preparing for and tackling exams: Efficient Note-Taking and Summarising: During lectures or while reading study materials, being able to type quickly and accurately allows you to capture key information efficiently. This means less time spent struggling with the keyboard and more time actively listening and understanding. You can create comprehensive and well-organised notes with less stress. KAZ can help you reach a level of proficiency where note-taking becomes a fluid extension of your listening.   Faster Essay and Report Writing: In exam situations where you need to write essays or reports under time pressure, touch typing can be a significant advantage. The ability to type fluently allows you to get your ideas down quickly and structure your arguments effectively without the added stress of slow typing hindering your flow. This can translate directly into better grades and reduced anxiety about time constraints, a skill honed through consistent practice.   Streamlined Practice and Mock Exams: When practising past papers or completing mock exams on a computer, touch typing allows you to simulate the actual exam environment more accurately. You can focus on the content and timing rather than being slowed down by your typing skills. This can build familiarity and reduce anxiety on the big day. Use software that can help you build the speed and accuracy needed to make these practice sessions truly effective.   Easier Digital Resource Utilisation: So much of modern learning involves digital resources – online articles, e-books, interactive exercises. Being a proficient touch typist makes navigating and engaging with these resources much smoother and less time-consuming, reducing potential frustration and anxiety. Mastering touch typing unlocks these digital resources with greater ease.   Investing in Your Calm and Success Learning to touch type might seem like another task to add to your already full plate. However, the long-term benefits for managing anxiety and boosting your academic performance are well worth the initial investment of time and effort. KAZ’s user-friendly software offers a structured and often engaging way to learn and improve your typing skills at your own pace. So, take a deep breath, consider adding touch typing to your skillset, and unlock a surprising pathway to a calmer, more confident, and ultimately more successful academic journey. You might just find that this seemingly small skill, developed with the right resources, makes a world of difference.  

In today's digital age, the ease of accessing and copying information online presents a significant challenge to academic integrity. Plagiarism, the act of presenting someone else's work as your own, has become a persistent concern for educators. While discussions around preventing plagiarism often focus on sophisticated detection software and stricter penalties, a seemingly unrelated skill – touch typing – might hold a surprising key to fostering originality in student work.    At first glance, the ability to type without looking at the keyboard appears purely practical, as it enhances speed and efficiency. However, the cognitive processes involved in touch typing can subtly yet powerfully steer students away from the temptation to plagiarise.    Think about the act of writing itself. When students hunt and peck at the keyboard, the physical act of typing becomes a conscious, often laborious process. This can create a mental disconnect between their thoughts and the words appearing on the screen. The temptation to quickly copy and paste information found online or use AI content generation software might become more appealing as a way to circumvent this slow and sometimes frustrating process. In contrast, touch typing fosters a more direct and fluid connection between thought and text. As students become proficient, their fingers learn the keyboard layout intuitively, freeing up cognitive resources. This allows them to focus more intently on formulating their ideas, structuring their arguments, and expressing themselves in their voice. The act of writing becomes less of a mechanical chore and more of a seamless extension of their thinking.    Furthermore, the increased speed and ease afforded by touch typing can empower students to engage more deeply with their research material. Instead of simply copying chunks of text, they are more likely to process information, synthesize different sources, and articulate their understanding in their own words. The efficiency of touch typing can make the process of paraphrasing and citing sources less cumbersome, reducing the perceived need to take shortcuts. Consider the student rushing to meet a deadline. For someone struggling with slow typing, the allure of quickly copying and pasting relevant paragraphs might be strong. However, a student comfortable with touch typing can often articulate their understanding of the material just as quickly, if not faster, than it would take to correctly attribute and integrate someone else's words. Moreover, the sense of mastery and confidence that comes with learning a new skill, such as touch typing, can have a positive impact on a student's overall approach to academic work. As they become more proficient and efficient in expressing their thoughts, they may develop a greater sense of ownership over their work and a stronger desire to present their original ideas. Of course, learning to touch type is not a silver bullet against plagiarism. Ethical considerations, proper citation practices, and a strong understanding of academic integrity remain crucial. However, by fostering a more fluid and efficient writing process, touch typing can remove a significant practical barrier that might inadvertently contribute to the temptation to plagiarize. In conclusion, while the primary benefits of touch typing are often seen in terms of productivity, its impact on fostering original work should not be overlooked. By creating a more direct link between thought and expression, empowering students to engage more effectively with their research, and building confidence in their writing abilities, learning to touch type can be a valuable tool in cultivating a culture of academic integrity and encouraging students to embrace the power of their voice.  

Confidence plays a pivotal role in shaping the academic and personal journey of students with special educational needs at university. Beyond the challenges they may face in accessing or processing information, a student’s self-belief often influences their ability to engage fully with their studies, peers, and wider university life. When students feel confident in their abilities and the support systems around them, they are more likely to participate in lectures, seek help when needed, and take on new opportunities, be it group projects, internships, or extracurricular activities. This active engagement not only fosters academic achievement but also personal growth, resilience, and a stronger sense of belonging. Conversely, a lack of confidence can lead to hesitation in asking for support, reluctance to contribute in class, and increased anxiety around assessments or social situations. Over time, this can impact performance, well-being, and their overall university experience. Learning to touch type can be a key factor in boosting confidence for students, especially with SEN. It provides them with a vital tool for more efficient, accurate, and independent written communication, helping to reduce reliance on support staff and assistive technology. As students master this skill, they often experience a sense of accomplishment and increased self-assurance in their ability to meet academic demands, complete assignments more comfortably, and participate more fully in digital learning environments.    

Updated April 10th (4 minute read) As schools increasingly recognise the importance of touch typing for academic success, exam readiness, and career preparation, choosing the right touch typing software is essential. However, here lies the problem, as there are so many to choose from. At the end of the day, they should all do the same thing: teach learners to touch type. So, what should you look for when choosing typing software? Good typing software should be inclusive, safe and secure, record progress and have an effective and proven teaching method that develops muscle memory and automaticity and teaches the skill quickly and easily.   BBC Bitesize Dance Mat Typing                            BBC Bitesize Dance Mat Typing is a free resource that uses an entertainment-based approach similar to that of several other typing software. Their teaching method includes videos, colour-coded keys, games, badges, loud audio and bright moving visuals.  Does this approach really work? Does it cater for all age groups and accommodate all abilities?  How does it compare to a paid-for typing software like KAZ Type?     Image – BBC Bitesize Dance Mat Typing Audience: Dance Mat caters to younger learners. KAZ caters to all age groups in academic settings. It is inclusive and was specifically developed to accommodate the whole class - mainstream, the hearing and visually impaired and neurodivergent learners, with challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, ADHD and ASD, amongst others – making it one of the few typing software designed for diverse learning needs. Teaching Method: Dance Mat uses a cartoon-style game-based approach. KAZ uses a light-hearted, scientifically structured, step-by-step progression approach, ensuring consistent learning, unlike free tools that lack structured progression. It uses a unique and proven ©Accelerated Learning teaching method, incorporating ‘brain balance’, teaching the fingers of both hands to work symmetrically and simultaneously. It was scientifically developed through research by a team of experts responsible for producing 55 RSA/NVQ level computer and office skill courses and was trialled and tested by 18,000 students per year, over three years in 300 private training centres across the UK before it was released to market.       Inclusive – Supporting Mainstream & Learners with Special Educational Needs  Many mainstream typing software claim to be SEN enabled but are not. Children get diagnosed with differences such as dyslexia at different stages of their school life. Until they are, they struggle to learn due to various challenges such as processing and visual disturbances. If you think about it, how can a child learn to read, spell, write or type while experiencing visual disturbances and/or processing issues, accompanied with loud audio and continual onscreen distractions? BBC Dance Mat lacks the features tailored to learners with SEN and the research-backed design that supports neurodivergent learners. KAZ’s accessible software caters for the whole class, mainstream, the hearing and visually impaired and neurodivergent learners, with challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, ADHD and ASD, amongst others – making it one of the few typing programs designed for diverse learning needs.   Specialised features Include:   Unique Preference Screen - developed with advice and guidance from the Dyslexia Research Trust. The specialised screen minimises visual disturbances before pupils start learning, tailoring the course for maximum visibility and comfort. Preferences includes, specialised filter colours to help minimise blurring, letter movement and glare, font sizes and colours and dyslexia-friendly typefaces.    The VI option was developed with advice and guidance from the Thomas Pocklington Trust (charity for the visually impaired). It is compatible with JAWS, and most other screen readers, magnification software and hardware, and captioning software.   .           The Challenge Modules were designed for learners with short memory and to help build muscle memory and automaticity. Learners see the word, hear the word, and then hear it spelled before typing it three times. Teachers have the ability to add curriculum year-based vocabulary from KAZ’s vocabulary bank and/or problematic words, allowing pupils to learn typing and spelling simultaneously.     Full Monitoring, Tracking & Reporting for Teachers BBC Dance Mat does not offer tracking or reporting features for monitoring learner performance, making it difficult for teachers to assess learner progress.  KAZ’s comprehensive and user-friendly admin panel provides detailed reporting for teachers and IT coordinators. It allows teachers to upload single or multiple learners into groups in minutes, track learner progress in real time and view bookmarks and results (typing speed, accuracy and error keys). This allows them to adapt lessons based on performance, ensuring measurable outcomes.                                                    GDPR & Online Safety Compliant -Secure & Safe for Schools Free programs like BBC Dance Mat and other free programs often come with distractions, and some free platforms may contain ads or external links that disrupt learning. KAZ is a safe and secure platform with no ads, distractions, pop-ups, or third-party tracking, ensuring a safe and 100% focussed learning environment for learners. We are members of ICO.org.uk and ensure learner data is protected. Please read our privacy policy on our website.                                                                      Cloud-Based & Multi-Device Accessibility Many free programs, including BBC Dance Mat, have limited device compatibility.   KAZ is fully accessible across all devices: Download for Mac and PC, SCORM for use within LMS and Online (allowing learning to continue beyond the classroom). Our App can now be used on iPads - though we  always advise the use of a keyboard.     Affordable BBC Dance Mat typing is free but does it encompass everything a good typing software should?

When at university, student A’s most significant challenges were her anxiety and managing her brain fog. She often struggled to focus on tasks for extended periods and keep up with lectures. Her anxiety prevented her from using speech-to-text software effectively, even in the privacy of her own space.   Not thinking that touch typing could be her saving grace, she decided to learn the skill simply to improve her productivity. However, on learning the skill, she noticed a significant improvement in both her academic performance and overall well-being.   Before learning to touch type, she spent a lot of time focusing on where her fingers were on the keyboard. The constant back-and-forth between looking at the screen and her hands made it incredibly difficult to keep track of the subject matter and what she was thinking. Added to this, her brain fog would make it all the harder to process the information. She often found herself losing focus quickly, which only added to her anxiety and frustration.   However, once she started learning to touch type, everything changed. At first, it felt awkward, as her brain was used to associating typing with looking at her hands, and breaking the habit took time. But with practise, she began to rely more on muscle memory than thinking about where her fingers were. This freed up mental space that she used to dedicate to focusing on her typing, enabling her to keep up with assignments without feeling as overwhelmed.   However, the real difference was how it reduced her brain fog. With touch typing, her thoughts flowed more naturally onto the screen because she was no longer distracted by the physical act of typing. This meant she could write faster and more efficiently, which helped her keep track of ideas as they came. It also improved her concentration. She noticed she could stay focused on tasks longer without feeling mentally exhausted or scattered. The typing process had become automatic, allowing her mind to be more present and engaged with the material.   Moreover, the improvement in her typing speed helped her considerably during exams and when submitting essays. She no longer wasted time fumbling for keys or struggling to keep up with her thoughts. She felt she could express herself more clearly and at a quicker pace.   In summary, learning to touch type has been a game-changer for student A. It has not only helped her manage her brain fog but has also given her the freedom to focus more on content. She feels more confident in her academic abilities and recommends learning to touch type to other students with similar challenges.   Our inclusive touch typing software, designed with accessibility at its core, offers an effective and engaging solution. Its specialised features make learning this subconscious skill simple and enjoyable. Once mastered, touch typing increases productivity and efficiency, reduces cognitive load, and, in turn, aids brain fog. It fosters confidence and self-belief, empowering students.

  Accuracy over Speed   The phrase 'slow and steady' refers to the idea that consistent, gradual progress is often more effective and successful than rushing or trying to accomplish something too quickly. It promotes a methodical approach, suggesting that taking one's time leads to more sustainable outcomes. This saying is rooted in the moral of Aesop's fable, 'The Tortoise and the Hare,' where a slow but consistent tortoise ultimately wins a race against a faster, impulsive hare. When learning to touch type, it is best to follow the same thinking, because slowing down and taking a step back is crucial for building a solid foundation, correct technique and preventing bad habits. Here's why: Accuracy Over Speed: Touch typing requires a balance between accuracy and speed. If learners focus solely on typing fast, they tend to make more mistakes, which can be hard to unlearn. Taking a step back to focus on accuracy helps ensure each finger reaches the correct keys consistently, allowing for gradual speed increases later without sacrificing correctness.   Muscle Memory Development: Touch typing relies heavily on muscle memory, which takes time to develop. Moving too quickly often leads to reliance on looking at the keyboard, hindering true muscle memory formation. Slowing down allows focused repetition, strengthening the brain's connection with finger placement and minimising errors.   Reduces Cognitive Overload: Learning to touch type involves memorising finger placements and staying focused on the screen instead of the keyboard. By slowing down, learners avoid overwhelming themselves, allowing the brain to process new information more effectively. This also aids in building confidence and making typing feel more natural over time.   Avoiding Physical Strain: Typing too quickly while learning can lead to stress on the hands and fingers. Slower practise sessions gradually help develop the necessary finger strength and dexterity, reducing the risk of strain or injury.   Research findings suggest that starting slowly creates a solid typing technique that leads to better long-term outcomes, as learners gain the ability to type quickly without looking at the keyboard and with fewer mistakes.
