You may be aware that there has been a recent push to teach keyboarding (typing) in most schools. The reason for this is three-fold. Firstly, as most states move to computer-based tests, it’s essential that students can type quickly and efficiently - otherwise, test scores can be severely affected. Secondly, the common core standards specify keyboarding skills by grade, making keyboarding an essential inclusion in any state curriculum. Finally, schools are recognizing that keyboarding is closely tied to computer literacy, equality of access, and educational outcomes in all areas.
Typesy Benefits include:
Improved Test Results
Students with fast and accurate typing will do better in computer-based tests, lifting results for the student, and also the entire school.
Common Core Compliance
Keyboarding skills are part of the common core standards. Students with good keyboarding skills can meet and exceed these standards.
Improved Educational Outcomes
Keyboarding is closely tied to computer literacy, equality of access, and educational outcomes in all areas.
Students can be talented, well taught, and otherwise well prepared. But if they can’t translate their thoughts to computer, they will be at a massive disadvantage on their test. Typesy is designed for schools that need to prepare for computer-based state tests. Typesy uses a structured curriculum and the science of muscle memory to make students lightening fast and ultra efficient with the computer. So your students can focus on the perfect answer, rather than fumbling around on the computer.
They don’t just learn to type. They Learn as They Type.
As Typesy teaches students to type, it also teaches them valuable common-core standards-based content. Typesy includes over 4000 lessons covering science, social studies, ELA, Math and more. Gone are the days when keyboarding lessons were only gibberish and meaningless text. Instead, students learn typing in an individualized way, which enhances education through a standards-based typing curriculum.
Everyone LOVES Typesy!
Typesy uses the latest in game mechanics, rewards, and healthy competition to keep students highly motivated with their learning. Students can build points and levels, work on their avatar, play exciting games. And teachers can optionally allow students to compete in the hall of fame. It all means that students stay engaged and get results. And when the students are happy and getting results, teachers are happy too.
A Rich Library of Curriculums for All Grades.
It’s vitally important that all students master keyboarding, no matter what their grade. While it’s much better to start early, it’s also never too late. For this reason, Typesy includes multiple curriculums to cater for all grade levels, from grade 2 to 12. Typesy also provides detailed lesson plans and comprehensive teacher support.
Make use of Students’ Spare Time, or Make Typesy Center Stage. The Choice is Yours.
At Typesy, they understand that not every school can teach in the same way, and teachers are often under pressure to fit everything in. That’s why we designed Typesy to cater for a range of learning approaches. Typesy can teach students to type “almost automatically” using just their spare time. Or it can be made a part of the class plan and can even take center-stage in learning. Whatever approach you choose, Typesy provides extensive class plans and teacher support.

Student Privacy is a Priority
Some lower-end keyboarding programs are notorious for distracting students with invasive ads, which are often of an inappropriate nature. Not only are these ads harmful and distracting – your student data is also accessed by third-party ad networks for further exploitation.
