What children learn in typing

Typing is now a school skill, and it is easiest to learn early, slowly and correctly. Children in Kindergarten to Grade 2 find the home row and press keys with a light touch. Grades 3–5 are the best time to learn touch typing, with the right finger for every key and eyes on the screen. Middle school builds speed and accuracy with paragraphs, punctuation, numbers and symbols, often aiming for 25 to 40 words per minute. Accuracy always comes before speed.

PlayOwl has 11 typing games for Kindergarten to Grade 8, from Olly First Flight (Kindergarten to Grade 3) to Airship Engineer (Grades 3–8). There are 8 grade pages of typing games and 12 of typing worksheets (121 printable PDFs in all), such as 5th Grade Typing Games.
