Keyboarding Without Tears
Plano ISD has a district license for 2nd-5th grade teachers.
A student's earliest experiences with keyboarding should focus on building a strong foundation for fluid, confident typing.
All activities are designed to be intuitive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate with grade-specific cross-curricular connections that resonate with students, such as:
- Introducing the keyboard and mouse
- Teaching children to anchor their hands on Home Row
- Developing finger dexterity, finger-key association, and bilateral hand skills
- Building muscle memory by practicing letter combinations
Teacher and Student Access Instructions
