learning+to+type

[|BBC Typing - Dance Mat Typing] An excellent site that children can work through the different levels to learn to touch type correctly (for ages 7 to 11). Probably all you will really need.

[|Power Typing]

[|Keyboard games for kids]

[|Sense - Touch Typing] A free online typing tutor with different lessons and clear diagrams to help you use the correct fingering. [|Alpha Rain] Five levels of difficulty. Children have to hit keys on the keyboard before the letters fall to the bottom of the screen

[|Barracuda] Three different speeds - you need to type whole words and single capital letters. [|Type Me] A three leveled game (and each game can be set to a variety of difficulty levels). In the first level, children have to click on a letter to 'save it'. When they type the letter correctly, the letter gets a parachute as it falls from the top of the screen. The next level is lower and upper case. The final level is whole words

[|Type Racer] For competitive types who are good typists you can race against others online at the same time as you as you type phrases from different books. There is also a practise area where you can work on increasing your own skills rather than compete. My fingers do all kinds of horrible things in competitions but I still averaged 55 words/minute. What can you get?
