Doran Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I want my rising 7th grade daughter to work on a keyboarding course this summer. Mavis Beacon frustrated her "back in the day", so we're trying again with something different. Recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisN in NY Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 My dc have learned to type when they were older (high school). We used ABeka's "Introduction to the Personal Computer". After the typing lessons, they do some documents, spreadsheets, etc... gets them beyond the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgm Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 The summer between seventh and eighth, my son used Avko's Individualized Keyboarding: http://www.avko.org/400.html It's the basics and it's just right for the length of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
