Nessy Fingers

Yes, Nessy Fingers is a specialized touch-typing program created to help children with dyslexia build keyboarding and spelling skills simultaneously. It uses a highly structured, multi-sensory game format to make learning accessible and engaging.

Unlike standard typing tutors, Nessy Fingers integrates spelling lessons directly into its typing games to reinforce literacy. The software also allows players to create their own custom word lists, making it highly adaptable for specialized learning plans.

Nessy Fingers was traditionally developed as a software application for Mac and Windows computers. It requires a standard physical keyboard to properly teach the touch-typing mechanics to young students.

The program uses a structured game format where players progress through different islands and challenges by typing specific letters and words. This gamified approach encourages children to practice muscle memory and proper finger placement without feeling like they are doing traditional schoolwork.
