Kids will learn how to commit the keys to memory by learning them row by row. It's important for kids to always try to leave both hands on the table while sitting up straight and to not look down at the keyboard. This is difficult for most adults to do so it may take a child a while to start to feel comfortable. Remember at this point it isn't about speed, it's about progression. This is purely to get your child use to using the keys and moving their fingers around the keyboard.

This is considered a flash course where you will learn from many different teachers (Goat, Giraffe, Octopus, Cat, Ninja Turtle, Rooster, Yak, Hip, Flamingo, Queen Ant, and Snake) who have their own personalities and mannerisms while taking your child around the world virtually. Depending on the stage or level your child is on, a character will be guiding them with helpful tips and praises along the way as they begin to finish assignments.

The first stage of Dance Mat Typing is where kids will learn to memorize the home row, which consists of a, s, d, f, g, h, j, k, l. This is considered the best way for new students to jump into typing. As they begin to get deeper into the program they will begin to learn harder tasks such as using the slash, period, and apostrophe, as well as how to use the shift key and make capital letters. The program allows students to print certificates as they succeed through levels as well. It's important to address that students should not skip lessons or go ahead of where they left off. Kids learn better as they build up to harder challenges. In the end, your child will be able to use all the keys together to put on one last performance with all the characters they met along the way.

Ultimately, this is considered a flash program meant to provide kids with thorough typing tutorials. It's never too early for your child to learn a valuable skill that can potentially help them further within future his or her career goals. Dance Mat Typing is considered the #1 program for a child to learn touch typing. It's even been discovered that people who touch type often have more than half as many words per minute as those who don't use it. This makes it a valuable skill worth investing in.
