Typing Practice

Kindergartners are focused on exploring the keyboard and learning about the different keys. Below are some games that we play in school to build these skills.

Typetastic - Frog Pond Patrol
Typetastic - Keyboard Builder
Keyboard Zoo

1st and 2nd graders begin to explore the basics of typing and using the keyboard to navigate a computer. Below are some of the tools we use in class to talk about and develop these skills:

Duck Maze
Type-A-Balloon
Typetastic - Astro Bubbles
Dance Mat Typing

3rd and 4th graders begin to develop their hand positioning and learn the basics of touch typing. We primarily work through a program called Typing.com, which studens may log in to with their school Google account. Their progress is saved automatically and they can pick up where they left off on any computer, as long as they log in.
