Typing test for kids
Typing practice that feels like a game. Short lessons teach the keyboard a few keys at a time, and every word typed earns coins for collectible cards.

Start at the home row
The Learn mode begins with just a handful of keys and adds more as your child is ready, with up to three stars for each lesson. It is the way touch typing is taught: fingers on the home row, eyes on the screen.
Practice they will want to do
- Collectible cards with cute animals, earned by typing.
- A companion egg that hatches and grows as they type.
- Daily goals and streaks that reward a little practice every day.
- A gentle farm to tend between tests.
What speed to expect
Every child is different, and accuracy matters far more than speed at first. As a rough guide, many younger children start below 15 WPM, and 20 to 30 WPM with good accuracy is a great target for older primary school children. Focus on clean, relaxed typing and the speed comes on its own.

Questions
What age can children learn to type?
Many children are ready to start touch typing at around 7 or 8, when their hands can comfortably reach the keys. Short, regular sessions work best.
How long should kids practise?
Ten minutes a day is plenty. The daily goal and streaks are designed around short, regular practice.
Do they need to make an account?
No. Progress saves in the browser as a guest. An account is only needed to save to the cloud and use the leaderboards.
