Our kids are using computers earlier and learning to type will pay off.  As school work becomes increasingly performed with computers, kids will be able to work smarter if they can type properly.  Today’s busy students can save an enormous amount of time by learning how to type.  Besides the obvious time-saving benefits, effective typing can help kids articulate thoughts and ideas more fluidly, as typing is faster than hand writing.

In this practical class, students will learn how to type in progressive steps, using all fingers correctly, for a more fluid expression of ideas, potentially improving their written communication skills in the process.  Mini-competitions and activities will make it fun for the students to improve their typing skills.

Fee: $160
