How to teach a child to type?

2 pointsby jasongroutover 9 years ago
Are there any recommendations for programs and/or games for teaching a 10-year-old how to touch-type?

My recommendation would be to look at the curriculum of your child&#x27;s school and go along with that. If the child is typing on their own already, then just letting them see you touch type and telling them what you are doing -- rather than what the child should be doing -- is a good way to introduce the idea. Actually, that&#x27;s a good way to introduce the idea regardless.<p>Anyway, although a child&#x27;s developmental age can vary greatly from their chronological age, in general, ten seems a bit young to me for learning the skill unless the child already has a specific direct interest in touch typing or an interest in something that already has them banging on a keyboard to write.<p>Good luck.
