WHY TYPING MATTERS
Typing is a required elementary skill in U.S. schools by 3rd grade
Common Core writing standard W.3.6 asks 3rd graders to "use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing… with sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting." State frameworks like the Illinois ISBE keyboarding standards set 25 WPM as the 5th-grade target. Kids who type fluently can focus on what they are writing instead of hunting for keys.

Meet the founder
Built by an 8th grader, for the kids around him
I'm Bryant.P, a student at an international school. I started TypingGamesKids after watching first graders on my own campus struggle through ad-covered typing sites. Three days after launch, emails from parents in Mexico, Brazil, and France showed me that keyboards look different around the world — so I added Spanish, Portuguese, and French versions with correct keyboard layouts for each country.

Parent Questions, Answered
The most common questions about kids and typing.
When should my child start learning to type?
Most kids are ready to start exploring the keyboard around age 5 (Kindergarten). Structured typing (home row, proper finger placement) works best starting around age 7-8 (2nd grade). Before that, focus on letter recognition through fun games like Letter Rain or Alphabet Zoo.
How much practice should my child do each day?
Consistency matters more than duration: 5-10 minutes for ages 5-6, 10-15 minutes for ages 7-8, and 15-20 minutes daily for ages 9-11. Five minutes every day beats 30 minutes once a week.
What's a normal typing speed for kids?
General benchmarks: Kindergarten 5-10 WPM, 1st-2nd grade 10-20 WPM, 3rd grade 15-25 WPM, 4th-5th grade 20-35 WPM. Take our free typing test to see where your child stands.
