Hi, @frankynewman!

Typing practice does not need to be a mundane task! Utilize typing games to keep your son engaged, and before you know it, he will be begging to practice his keyboarding skills. Aside from keeping lessons fun, typing games allow learners to track their progress, happily focus on areas of weakness, and practice their hand-eye coordination, a skill much needed in touch typing.
