    I just found a great typing resource!   It has lessons, and you can even setup a school to monitor your student’s progress!   If you setup a school, you can modify lessons, and goals (like reduce the WPM, etc…)

    We are going to try it out this summer!

    I’ll be making a resource for it for the organizer soon…  still getting it setup!

    Thanks for that.  My kids just started blogging, so both are newly interested in improving their typing.  We have “Typing Instructor for Kids”, which DD has been through, but a new program might be motivating too.  It’s nice to have options.

    Is there an age recommended or that you recommend ? I looked on the site but didn’t see an age recommendation.

    No age recommendation.  In the school setup you can set grades right from K up.   It is a good old-fashioned typing program without games.

    It looks like it is only free for 2 months if I set up an account. Am I missing a step or in the wrong option?

    There is a free version and a free 2 month trial (for schools).  After the 2 months, you lose the advance features.

    Here is the chart with the differences.   https://s.typingclub.com/schools/pricing.html

    The main things that may affect you (And me, as I’m in the trial right now) is the free version for schools does not allow typing tests, and it will had ads.  (I use an ad blocker, so that might not affect me….)    I guess some of the advanced reporting might go too.

    But we could still monitor student progress, change the ‘course’ they are taking, etc.  

    It looks like it only costs about $3 per student per year too, so if you like/need the advanced features….

    And it looks like if you don’t setup a school, but just do a personal account, it is always free with no ads.

     

    is it really free?

    Yes. TypingClub is (and will always be) 100% free, ad free, Spam free, etc. If you enjoyed it, please blog, tweet or otherwise link to TypingClub.

    Thanks! I was looking at it but didn’t get a chance to look further.
