Our family uses games to learn keyboarding skills. We work on this once a week for 20-30 minutes each time. Children are encouraged to use correct posture and finger placement. Additional typing practice for older children comes in the form of typing reports, sending emails, coding lessons, and web design lessons. Below you will find links to some of our favorite free weekly practice resources. As always, these are things we use and you are responsible for making sure content is appropriate for your family.
