Most people would agree that in this day and age, typing is
a must have skill. Most typing programs do a decent job of teaching the skill;
but none compare to The Typing Coach Online Typing Course provided by TheTyping Coach.
WHAT IS THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE?
The Typing Coach Online Typing Course is a computer-based
program. Coach personally guides you to learn how to type very accurately and
proficiently without looking at the keyboard or monitor. There are seven
lessons in this course: (1) Having Good Posture, (2) Home Row, (3) Top Row, (4)
Bottom Row, (5) Shift Keys, (6) Typing Practices, (7) Number Row. The course
includes a Student Packet, Learning Checks Packet, Progress Chart, and Teacher
Resource Center.
HOW DOES THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE WORK?
To begin this course, you will need to create an account.
Once you are logged in to your account, be sure to have your word processor
open and your Student Packet next to you before pressing play on the audio
lesson. Be sure to do everything you are told, stopping and rewinding whenever
necessary to make sure you get it all. Repeat the audio as many times as
necessary until you are able to type without looking at the keyboard and making
no mistakes. Please note, there are two keys you are forbidden to use, the back
space and the delete key. No correcting is allowed, your goal is to type
correctly the first time. If you do make a mistake, you will retype the line
again, learn from it, and move on. When you are finished, ask your parent or
teacher for the Learning Checks Packet and follow the directions. When you are
finished, call the teacher over or check yourself and mark it off on the
Progress Chart. When you have successfully passed, move on to the next lesson.
WHO COULD USE THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE?
The Typing Coach Online Typing Course offers slower paced
lessons and regular paced lessons. The slower paced lessons are an option to be
used for those 8-11 years old who may not be ready for the full, regular paced
lessons. The regular lessons are to be used for those 12+ years old.
DOES THE TYPING COACH ONLINE TYPING COURSE WORK?
Yes! My girls were able to complete one lesson per week with
daily practice. If you diligently follow the instructions, by the end of this
course, you should be able to type at least 10 words per minute. With the good
habits that you will acquire, your next goal should be 25 words per minute; and
then of course, with more practice, 45 words per minute should be hit by most
within a few months – by those who are committed.
I highly recommend The Typing Coach Online Typing Course!
Coach even adds a little humor as he asks students to type “lol” and then he
begins to laugh and you cannot help but laugh along. Coach is here to make the
complicated simple and make learning FUN!
