One of the summer assignments (from me) for my 11 year old son going
into
7th
grade next year is that he learn to keyboard. It would help him with
assignments, now that some can be turned in typed (his handwriting is
atrocious), and he's falling into a hunt-and-peck two-finger habit when
he
does
type which I don't want to set in.
What is a good software program for this? Windoze98.
Thanks,
Banty
Our kids' school uses something called Type to Learn. Our 15 and 11 year
olds can type very well, so I guess it worked.
I hear the Mavis Beacon programs are good too. Again, Google (and local
CompUSA) are very helpful. :-)
I might add that Type to Learn is by Scholastic, and they have a free trial
download on their website:
