The First Step of Digital Learning

Keyboarding licenses for as low as $3.21* for districts, schools and classrooms.

Grades | K-2

A student's earliest experiences with keyboarding should focus on building a strong foundation for fluid confident typing.

All activities are designed to be intuitive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate with grade specific cross-curricular connections that resonate with students such as:

  • Introducing the keyboard and mouse
  • Teaching children to anchor their hands on Home Row
  • Developing finger dexterity, finger-key association and bilateral hand skills
  • Building muscle memory by practicing letter combinations

Grades | 3-5

Students become familiar with skills essential to computer-based assessments, including scrolling and selecting from drop-down menus. Third grade starts with review and mastery of second-grade work and quickly moves into introducing number and function keys, formatting, and writing paragraphs. Activities are aligned with grade-level reading ranges, and the lessons are scaffolded to support a developmental progression for all learners to:

  • Sharpen keyboarding accuracy and fluency
  • Build muscle memory, accuracy and speed
  • Reinforce formatting and keyboard skills
