Typing Contrasted with Handwriting in Language Arts Instruction for Moderately Mentally Retarded Students.
Calhoun, Mary Lynne
Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v20 n1 p48-52 Mar 1985
Seven junior high age TMR students were instructed to recognize sight vocabulary words using handwriting or typing activities. Typing speed increased at an accelerated rate and accuracy in copying words by typing was consistently superior to copying by handwriting: typing activities were as effective as handwriting activities in promoting sight word recognition.
