Typing Club : An adaptive, engaging program focused on accuracy and speed
Typing Club is a web based platform with multiple levels, designed to teach students how to type. Typing Club provides lessons of increasing difficulty to teach students how to type. Over 23 million students and 50,000 school districts use Typing Club. Typing Club was created by a group of developers and content creators to enhance students' learning experiences. Students can take a placement test in the beginning to determine their level of typing. They then progress through a series of increasingly difficult typing lessons. Students can't continue to the next lesson until they finish the previous lesson. Many teachers who use the platform in their classroom enjoy how Typing Club focuses on improving students' typing speeds and accuracy. They also liked how the program was engaging. Some teachers found their students bored of the repetitive nature of practice rounds. They wished the program was a big more interesting and less repetitive.
Grades: Any age but it's geared mostly towards 1st-12th grade students.
Cost: Typing Club is free to everyone!
