Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Music and Typing. I believe these two go hand in hand. How about you? In the meantime, would you take a look at the Homeschool Resource’s I’ve shared with you and let me know if you’ve used these resources or not.
Mr. Henry’s Music World is an all-inclusive, creative, and fun premier music education curriculum for elementary students. Children learn the piano at their own pace and start their journey as a young musician.
Teaching.com – Typing.com– Grades 4 & up, with parental supervision
This ad-supported website offers a complete typing course (for beginners to advanced students) absolutely free! (Registration is recommended to save your progress.)
The program supports all major international keyboard formats, and displays key position and proper finger placement to help keep beginners from looking at their hands. In addition to practice exercises, there are several typing games that reinforce skills while they entertain.
Helpful tips are constantly provided to reinforce proper typing techniques. Typing tests are provided and students can track their progress (if registered) with detailed graphs and statistics. As a student progresses, the program “learns” which keys cause the most difficulty and creates custom lessons focusing on the student’s top 5 most troublesome letters. When a student completes a lesson, they earn a virtual trophy.
As we mentioned, this program is ad-supported which is why it’s free. If you don’t want the ads displayed, there is a reasonable fee option to remove the ads.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
