Beginner Level
In this six-lesson introduction to keyboarding, students will explore the computer keyboard and learn touch typing—typing without looking at the keys. This course will build a solid foundation of correct typing techniques, covering all letter keys and punctuation, and utilizing all ten fingers. Our goal is to introduce proper techniques and guide learners through practice sessions to build muscle memory for efficient typing. L E A R N T O T O U C H T Y P E W I T H P R O P E R T E C H N I Q U E S Students will start with the home row keys and progressively move to the middle and top row keys. Emphasis will be on proper finger placement, posture, and technique to develop efficient typing habits. Engaging in various practice exercises, students will reinforce their skills and improve speed and accuracy. By the end of this course, students will have a strong foundation in touch typing. Our goal is for learners to progress through all the letters of the alphabet by the end of this course. Each student learns at their own pace, with accuracy being the primary focus. Required Reading, Writing, and Computer Skills: Recognize all 26 letters of the English alphabet (both lowercase and uppercase). Understand basic sentence structure (uppercase letter start, spaces between words, punctuation at the end). Note: Fluency in reading is not required. Students will copy letters and words from provided exercises. Technology Requirements: A laptop or desktop computer is required (no tablets without external keyboard). N O T E T O P A R E N T S: The teacher will create an EduTyping account for each student. Username and passwords will be sent to parents the day before class begins. Students may need assistance logging into their EduTyping account. Instructions for setting up learner devices will be available upon enrollment. The teacher will wait in the classroom for 10 minutes for students to arrive.
