I would like my 10 year old to learn to keyboard this summer. Do you have recommendations? There are a slew of programs on the market and they are somewhat indisguishable to me.
And what speed to you have to have to be faster than writing?

Re: Favorite program to teach keyboarding
My son had good luck with Walt Disney’s Typing with Timon and Pumba. It was visually pleasant and used games to teach.
For a 10-year old, I would highly suggest “Mario Teaches Typing.” My two youngest children (both LD, one more so than the other, one with ADD, the other with ADHD & bi-polar disorder) used this software during their computer lab time in elementary school. It was fun, yet they learned!
HTH,
