Coco_Clark Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It's been a while but I'm rested and gearing up for Fall :) I've got a 3rd grader wanting to learn to type. Any recommendations for a program? Free is great but I'm willing to pay for quality. I'd like something that really takes them from beginning to fluency, if that makes sense. Not just practice games.

lexi Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 My kids have learned with Typing Insteuctor for Kids. It wasn't expensive. I also looked at Mavis Beacon. I went with the first choice because I had some younger kiddos wanting to learn. But both programs looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I googled for Mavis Beacon and found mavisbeaconfree.com The site says they offer older versions for free download. Is it legit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The darling children in this house out-smarted ("won" the game) Typing Instructor without actually learning how to type. (I don't think this is typical, but - you may have kids like mine. :lol: ) They now practice on typing.com - a free online site that calculates wpm & lets them take quizzes as they're ready.
