Touch typing for kids is important

One of the main reasons why parents today look for a touch typing course for kids can be summed up in three words: Optimizes their time

The beginning of the catharsis

We are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and it feels like the end of the world. We are all in quarantine, confined, at home. Not knowing what to do in our spare time. Having the kids climbing the walls. Making more video calls than in our entire lives. In short, changing our lifestyle habits from one day to the next. All of a sudden.

Lately, in many homes, Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, etc. are working overtime. We have been ordered to telework and we have had to dust off the webcam (and some also remove the anti-hacker post-it or go for the more elegant solution of a camera cover) and plug in the headphones to start new routines.

We put on our shirt, wear the sweatpants we have for being at home, and the slippers to be comfortable. At 8:30 in the morning, the meetings begin. Just as if we were in the office, but with the Roomba dusting and the kids having breakfast.

The follow-up meeting ends and it is our turn to continue with the emails that were left unanswered yesterday. We get a call that breaks our workflow. Our daughter comes to us with a math exercise she wants us to help her solve.

And the oldest son also has to connect to Hangouts to continue with his online classes. They assign him homework and we have to get organized. It is 5 in the afternoon and he still hasn't finished the essay assigned by his English teacher.

The desperation of looking for a touch typing program for kids

We get frustrated because we see him typing with two fingers and in a very erratic way. If only the kid had taken a touch typing course like I did! We just bought the latest laptop model and he barely knows how to use the keyboard. Frustrating. He needs to optimize his time.

It has to be this afternoon. We open our laptop, go to Google, and search for "Touch typing course for kids". 20 pages of results, but which one do I choose? Is this one good? Does this other free touch typing course for kids give me enough guarantees? I remember that when I learned to touch type with all my fingers we used typewriters and it was very boring. My kids are going to get bored. Is it going to be entertaining? Will it adapt to their level? I don't know, I'm so confused.

The solution to your problems

That is where Kluppy makes all those doubts disappear.

Our tool starts with typing exercises using basic texts, and gradually, in a progressive way, increases the difficulty and duration of the exercises.

To achieve this, we have made it so that the level adapts in real time to each user. Kluppy will demand better results in the digital writing exercises if it detects that the student is more skilled with the keyboard. And it will reduce, if necessary at specific moments, the level of the exercises if the student is struggling more.

In addition to this, each user will have at their disposal more than 130 videos as a guide. All of them available in Spanish, English, and Basque. And as if that weren't enough, more than 1000 typing exercises in all three languages so they don't miss a thing.

And since we know that digital writing is an unappealing task at first glance, we have turned it into a game. Planets, stars, padlocks... An extra touch of motivation never hurts.

Success lies in consistency

More than 15,000 students have already gone through Kluppy, and if one thing has become clear to us, it is that consistency and practice are the foundation of success.

It is useless to have the best touch typing programs for kids on the market if you don't work as you should. Therefore, apart from having an administration panel to track progress, we strongly recommend our users to be consistent. To plan their weekly sessions in Kluppy to reach the point of typing fast and without looking at the keyboard. Without work, there is no success.
