![]() Typing after all is about repetitive practice. I haven’t tried every single typing program out there but I’m sure that they all get a little boring. I adore the Typesy program and so does my son (well some of it). Now there’s a VERY important computer skill. Cartoons, bikes, robots and computers all have people working behind the scenes. They don’t have to actually “create” anything but we want them to have a real understanding that there’s hard working people behind it. It’s important to us to teach our kids to be technology creators not consumers. Haven’t heard of them? THEY ARE AWESOME books that teach kids about computers (and coding) in a hands on (off screen) way! My son even built a paper computer with all the components (CPU, GPU, RAM etc…) I wanted him to understand how hardware and software come together to move the cursor or type something to the screen. I was SUPER excited to try Typesy out! I also wanted to teach my son, who is currently obsessed with The Wild Robot (amazing books, you should read them… enough said), about computers in general.Ĭomputers are not some magic box - they are programed by people just like the “makers” in The Wild Robot. ![]() ![]() This post may also contain affiliate links. scroll down for a chance to win a large or small family subscription!ĭisclaimer: I was provided a subscription to Typesy and was compensated for my time. I was doing some research on different typing programs when Typesy reached out to me to try them out! Psst. My oldest is nearly 7, so computer and typing skills is something we wanted to include in his day for his next school year (2nd grade). ![]()
