Typesy should be able to develop an interface or design that keeps children focused.

Hi!

There are many incentives in the assignment and games on the site that encourage students to improve their status. One of the key changes is the ability for students to customize their personal avatar based on their status. This is a driving factor in increased engagement on the site.

Regards,  
The Typesy Team

Student engagement is a key focus of the Typesy curriculum. Students are engaged through a variety of gamified lessons in which they earn rewards, up their game status, and work towards custom goals. Students build their own avatars and practice typing through fun, interactive lessons. Additionally, Typesy adapts to each learner, so no student will ever find themselves with lessons too easy or too difficult. All of these features serve to keep students focused and engaged, leading to fast and full mastery of touch typing.
