Questions

Why should a child learn touch typing?

It makes school projects and future computer work much faster and avoids bad one-finger habits.

What speed will my child reach?

Most children reach about 15-25 words per minute with good accuracy in one month of regular practice.

Is it boring?

No. Typing games and small speed challenges keep it fun.

Do we need a computer at home?

Not necessary, but 10 minutes of home practice speeds up progress.
