Summer Keyboarding For Kids
About Keyboarding
Our week-long Keyboarding camp during the March break will provide a comfortable and receptive environment where children can acquire typing skills.
Why should children learn how to type?
- Keyboarding is becoming a standard skill that is used regularly.
- Being familiar and comfortable with typing can aid with concentration, reduce the stresses associated with school work and assist the child in recognizing and identifying their accomplishments.
- Typing helps students with learning disabilities who have difficulties with fine-motor, visual-motor and visual-spatial tasks.
Program Goals
Have trained leaders who will guide children with sensitivity to their individual needs
Teach typing techniques, posture, accuracy and speed
Teaching through straightforward directions and systematic, clear feedback about performance
Introduce students beneficial online games
Use software that engages the student and reinforces continued practice
Provide creative and fun activities to reinforce learning
Consideration of learning styles and accommodations to obtain successful skills
Offer a “go at your own pace” opportunity to learn keyboarding techniques
Eligibility
Children ages 7 – 14 years old who:
- Have a learning disability and/or AD(H)D and wish to improve their typing skills.

Parent Testimonial
“My daughter took the keyboarding class this winter. Both of her instructors immediately realized she was an auditory learner and responded accordingly. Her instructors gave me regular feedback on her progress and also provided suggestions on activities she could do at home to further practice her newly developing skills.”
