Take a break from writing and try the free TypingWeb

January 9, 2012

If your kids are gripping about writing lessons, why not start teaching them to type?

I remember watching my toddler use a mouse better than his grandma and realizing that we are in a completely different world now.

So, why wait to teach typing? In fact, I have to admit, I type much more nowadays that I actually write.

One of my BFFs (hey, old people can have BFFs, too), recommended a great site that her kids have been using to learn to type, for free:

What we like:

It’s FREE (There is an optional one-time $10 fee to remove ads and unlock extra lessons and games)
You can track your progress.
Typing games make it more fun to learn.
A free Teacher Portal: If you sign up first, you can make a username and password for each of your kids. Then, using the teacher portal, you can keep track of each child’s progress. All the basics are free. (They do offer ad-free and premium service options for $4.99 per student if you’d like.)

I hope you enjoy it, too.
