An idea to help with typing: try the Dance Mat typing on the kids BBC site. My daughter worked through the whole thing in 1-2 weeks last summer (just before she turned 8). She liked the program and picked it up very quickly. I do find I have to remind her to type properly from time to time, but in general she can type better than most adults I know. This was a big step for her because writing is her biggest struggle. No one will ever know what is in her head if the ask her to write it down.
