Typing Learning Tips:
- Work through the lessons together with your student or child rather than just giving them an assignment to complete on their own.
- Map out the lessons so the step-by-step process from learning basic typing skills to becoming proficient will be clear.
- Set goals and discuss how learning to type can lead to improvements when completing work at school and home.
- Describe the benefits of learning to type to your student or child. Explain how typing skills contribute to using a word processing application, creating school presentations, and completing assignments faster.
- Make It Fun. Find teachable moments by applying newly acquired typing skills to practical tasks. These can include: sending an e-mail to a family member or friend, writing a story, or searching for videos on YouTube.
