Teaching Typing

I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or sites for teaching typing to my 6 yr old & a friends 10 yo. I am thinking there must be some games that help kids learn where to put their fingers & to improve speed once they learn.

TIA :smiley:

There was a program called Kids Typing (I think) that was wonderful. It’s old now, but I’m sure they have newer versions. I will have to check with my mom about who made it so I can try to find more info for you.

I find this site really good, maybe it can help you.

Thanks & karma to all of you for your help. I will try these & let you know what the kids think.

Hi!

A good program to teach a child to type is Typing tutor. There are different versions for adults and children.
