Typing program

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

I am wondering if anyone can recommend a typing program for an older child. I have Read, Write and Type but it is a little too childish for her.

Thanks
Mom

EPS = Educators Publishing Service in Cambridge. The Author is Diane King. It is just paper on an easal that stands up next to the computer. Costs about $10.00 or so. No glitz, no glamour. Just old fashioned typing lessons.

Takes about 15 minutes per day.

It is presented differently — the whole alphabet, in order, right away (with a neat little poem: LIttle finger a, reach for b, middle finger c d e, and so on.) . I’ve sat and contemplated why that makes such a difference — not sure why, but it does. And for my kiddos who had sequencing issues, they got the alphabet down a little more automatically!
Type to Learn and Type for FUn are also popular.

Hi,
my 11 year old son likes Slam Dunk Typing. It keeps him motivated to see his “seasonal stats” improve as he works harder.
