Touch typing is such a useful and lifelong skill – especially if handwriting is a struggle. These sessions are a fun and effective way to learn to touch type.

• Introduction to touch typing for mixed ages.
• Three-day course taught in daily one-and-a-half-hour sessions from Monday 28th July to Wednesday 30th July.
• All students to bring own laptops / iPads with keyboard
• Learners taught position of letters on keyboard using multi-sensory techniques
• Plenty of opportunity for repetition and over learning in these fun interactive sessions
• By end of the three days learners will have learnt all letter keys and progressed to simple punctuation and number keys
• Short homework tasks after each session to consolidate skills
• Sessions should be backed up by regular practice at home to promote automaticity
• Upon completion of the course, learners should have gained a good basic knowledge of keyboard and have a sound foundation on which to build speed and accuracy

‘I think that the course is pretty good because now I’m a lot better at typing than I first was. It is also an effective way of learning.’ (AB)
