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
