Teaching children how to type and have fun

| February 27, 2008 | Comments (8)

Thanks Elizabeth for leading my girls and I to a GREAT learn-to-type website!

 

Dance Mat Typing by BBC!

 

We tried a few other fun programs years ago (can’t find them now), but none had a “curriculum” like this website! Our 7-year old went through the entire 1st lesson, Home Run, laughing and cheering herself on with her progression…she got carried away on her first day, she mastered all of Lesson 1 and on Lesson 2, Unit 2.

She typed out her first article the past 2 days, and we thought it’s a perfect time to take her typing lessons seriously. Subhanallah (God is Perfect), it is synchronizing perfectly with the completion of her 2nd piano lesson by classical, sight-reading without looking at the keyboard.

This fun online typing course designed specifically for children actually teaches our young to type without looking at the keyboard at all! It’s all geared towards viewing the screen and working with the positions of all 10 figures! It’s truly amazing!

Please give this typing course a try, and report back your experiences below!

TIP: Here’s an online typing test to see how fast and accurate you are typing now. Insha’allah, God willing, we will all get faster and more accurate in due time.

    I love the online typing lesson at bbc as well! My kid is still trying to improve his touch typing speed with some free online typing lessons and games. Typing lessons can be fun and interesting too with the application of gaming elements. Even I’m also addicted to some casual free typing game ;)

    The subsequent time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to learn, however I really thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can fix in case you werent too busy searching for attention.
