TypeTastic for Schools

Typing Adventure Level 1

Discover 700+ typing activities for all grade levels – and unleash the joy of typing in your school.

Want a Keyboarding Curriculum that Works? Here You Go!

Get this: keyboarding helps students learn the alphabet! As a technology teacher, I see roughly 500 K-5 students for 40 minutes a week. While kids may be a wiz on a tablet or a touchscreen device, I’ve discovered many of them have never used a keyboard or managed a mouse. So that’s where I start.

I use TypeTastic with my K-2 students, and there’s no doubt the gamification of learning a new skill works. With my kindergartners, (and even some 1st-graders) I start off with Keyboard Builder, Cupcake Bugs, and Frog Pond Patrol.

TypeRush brings typing racers together!
