Building The Site
The Keyboard Classroom product site is coming along and we should have a beta version of the software available for testing soon. It teaches typing skills in fast in one-minute sprints, quickly developing speed and accuracy. As I said in my previous post, when a child with a learning disability like Attention Deficit Disorder or ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger Syndrome or other forms of Autism, can type fast without thinking about where their fingers are, they can concentrate on the words they will use to express their thoughts. It’s a life-long learning skill.
There are five fluencies in the Keyboard Classroom learning system. Each is designed for students to master certain sub-skills before advancing to the next level of difficulty. As they advance, they earn points, “redeemable” for playing a series of games built into the program as incentives.
To guarantee success, parents act as coaches, ensuring that children practice their fluencies every day, using our patented finger guides to place their hands in proper keyboarding position.
With a dedicated commitment by the student and parent/coach, our studies show the average student can become a basic touch typist in just 6 to 10 months, practicing just 15 minutes a day! It really works. We’ve been watching kids use the original software developed at the Ben Bronz Academy and it is amazing to see their progress. And best of all, they love doing their fluencies. Passing levels of difficulty is like a badge of honor, and they wear it proudly. I can’t wait for everyone to see our product.
