This course is suitable for younger children in years 1, 2 or 3 who have just started using a computer keyboard for the first time. Perhaps they are too young to learn how to touch type – they may even find it difficult to stretch their fingers from the home row keys. This course is a great pre introduction to touch typing.

This is not a touch typing course using all of the fingers at once but will help your young child to become familiar with using a QWERTY keyboard and use the correct finger on each key ready for them to learn touch typing when they are a little bit older.

This course is very easy to complete at home without tutor support.

It will teach your child to associate each letter on the keyboard with the correct finger while improving alphabet recognition, dexterity, and familiarity with technology. There are fun games to help warm up the fingers and a colour coded keyboard to help make learning to type super easy! By the end of the course your child will be able to confidently locate each letter key using the correct finger in perfect preparation for moving onto learning to touch type – typing using all of the fingers automatically without looking at the keyboard.

There are 15 fun weekly lessons plans for your child to work through.

We have designed the lesson plans so that your child has just the right amount of practice to do each week, so that it is both manageable and most importantly, fun!

At the end of the course, one of our tutors will check your child’s results and once all of the lessons have been completed they will issue an end of course certificate. When your child has completed the course, they can move onto one of our regular touch typing courses.
