Summer typing courses for Y7 Bucks/ Oxon Area

[Mushypeasandchipstogo]

Does anybody know if such a thing exists? DS has poor keyboard skills and needs to improve by Y8!

Get a copy of Mavis Beacon and make him do some every day... It's mostly games that are designed to get harder and harder so that you start off just doing a few keys on the middle line and then it gets progressively harder.

There are also some games on the bbc learning website that ds1 (y3) has been doing through school so very child friendly and designed for kids to help their typing. Can't remember its name but google it and you should find it no problem.

Try getting him to do 10 minutes a day every day and he will soon build up good keyboard skills!

OK - found it now. Here's the BBC learning zone for typing:

It's a good place to start, especially as it's free!

Thanks for that zip zap.
