Hi there,

With about 7 minutes of practice per day, anyone can improve their typing speed and accuracy, whether they’re 7 years old or 70. You can make touch typing a family event!

Daily practice is the _key_ to strengthening your keyboarding skills!

While certainly beneficial as a tool of physical therapy, typing also develops muscle memory. Developing muscle memory requires time, patience, and repetition. You won’t be able to master keyboarding after one lesson, but with about 20 minutes of daily practice, you should be more than proficient in touch typing within 2 or 3 months.

Good luck!
