Teaching Typing in Your Homeschool with Typesy

Typing is something that many of our kids pick up nowadays because it’s such a massive part of our lives, but there is a science behind efficient typing. My son recently began learning to type, and it was a little challenging to get used to where each key is located. The science behind efficient typing is touch typing and making that engaging is something Typesy does. Before I tell you more, take a moment to pin this post to your homeschool board.

Why is typing important

Typing is essential in our everyday lives. It is critical in:

• Daily communication, whether we are texting a friend, sending an email, playing a video game (a lot of them currently have communication options or creating your levels where you need to add titles and descriptions), or creating documents.
• Academically, mostly everything is digital nowadays, I remember growing up learning cursive and the teacher telling us how important it is because that is how we are submitting work in college. I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. We didn’t use cursive as much because technology took over, and we were typing. Typing is still the primary way of communicating academically, submitting assignments digitally. Your typing skills make this easier and faster to create and complete assignments. 
• In college readiness, as I stated above, the primary communication is through typing nowadays, and even testing and applications have become digital.
• Career readiness, okay, typing is not a particular skill. It is something that is a necessity nowadays for most careers.

What is Typesy?

Typesy is an online writing program that will keep your children engaged and having fun while developing new skills. Typesy is an ad-free interactive online typing program for grades two through tenth. 

Typesy is available on Windows and Mac and can be accessed 24/7. All you need is an internet connection. Download the app or work from the website.

Parents have complete access and control via the easy-to-use admin dashboard. The admin dash offers live reporting, so parents can track their child’s progress and immediately identify when their child might need some extra help.

Typesy is a Standout Typing Curriculum

When you sign up for Typesy, each child has a separate account. That allows each of them to progress through the program at their own pace. It also allows the program to interact and adapt to each individual child based on their results.

Each lesson provides 3D animated stories with a cast of characters and a game-like quality that helps children stay motivated and engaged. There is plenty of practice with typing letters, words, spaces, and so much more. While there is a lot of repetition in practicing letters, that is how typing skills are made. It helps build confidence and develop muscle memory. 

Unlike so many other programs that start at the basics and end before you can master your skills, Typesy is an all-in-one curriculum that helps your children grow from beginner to proficient. Typesy offers over 4,000 lessons that incorporate various subjects, including language arts, science, and history, so your children will be learning as they type. No need for additional programs. 

Typesy offers excellent customer support, including a video tutorial library and chat options. They also provide a 12-month money-back guarantee.

Typesy in our homeschool

I have two kids who vary in levels and skills. While my daughter is older and more advanced she enjoys growing her skills. The competitiveness of trying to get into the Hall Of Fame and their game-like quality motivate her. We enjoy Typesy in our homeschool.

My son, who is younger and just beginning his typing journey, has found additional benefits. My son hates handwriting, but typing with Typesy has helped him grow his spelling skills without the added resistance and aggravation. 

Typesy is an all-in-one typing program that makes it easy to add typing to our homeschool day without tracking, planning, or changing programs. It is a true winner.
