At FunTech, we believe that proper computer habits start in childhood. When children learn correct touch-typing techniques and proper posture, it will improve efficiency while preventing repetitive strain injury (RSI) and lower back pain. It’s a must for everyone living in the 21st century.
Touch typing truly is is one of the most valuable skills that a kid can learn. It not only helps with schoolwork and boosts their confidence, but can also set them up with an advantage in later life with employment prospects – many jobs require quick typing skills, but with advances in technology it’s even more important now.
About our touch typing lessons for kids
During this engaging course of touch typing lessons for kids, your child will benefit from a combination of tutor aid and their own learning style. FunTyper automatically measures for an appropriate level of accuracy and muscle memory before releasing new letters into the game. No two children will have the same experience, but everyone will learn techniques to carry into the future!
Repetition is key in building the muscle memory needed for touch typing. It’s tough, but once it’s been established for each key position the benefits are clear: fewer mistakes, increased efficiency, no more hunting for keys, all resulting in less time at the keyboard. When all fingers are used correctly, no digits are overstressed, reducing the risks of RSI and improving spelling.
Our tutors are superb motivators and have created a ton of challenges and activities to keep kids interested in the typing lessons while they learn. Tutors keep a sharp eye out to make sure correct typing technique and good posture are always adhered to. Our touch-typing lessons for kids are fun, interactive, and will keep your child entertained and busy all day!
